Livelink password hashing method?

[GTO123]

Does anyone know what mechanism Livelink uses when creating password hashes? For example, in this thread:

http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=998386

it is shown that the password 'livelink'
for the user 'Admin'
will produce the hashed password value 'o9R5FlSpGXe38pZFlHIoQ'.

How is this value calculated?

I beleive it is a one way hash mechanism by OT.Why do you need this info.It cannot be easily decrypted ?If you know builder if you trace thru lliapi.UsersPkg you will get clues how they figure out if the db stored encrypted password and user supplied passwords match and so on.
I beleive Str.Decode works on the opentext.ini password but I am not very sure about that..

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

The password for users is stored in one-way encrypted from and when a user enters thier password itis encryped the same way and checked against the system. Most password system work like this and decryption is not possible nor desired
