Perl crypt

[mtnclark]

I have a customised version of the useful work package tracking tool named Bugzilla which uses Perl crypt, This is an implementation of UNIX C-standard DES crypt(3) function .

What is needed is a Windows implementation of crypt(3) (ie 'crypt.dll') that can then be called by MS Access to validate user log-ons, or a bit of VB script that implements it that I can then shoehorn into MS Access. I haven't been able to find anything like this and it would take an age to write one from scratch. Once a working MS Access crypt(3) is available, it merely becomes a matter of cunning code to ensure that only permitted users can see permitted data.

MSDN (msdn.microsoft.com) has some bits'n'pieces about crypt(3), but no dll or useful code segment as far as I can see.

I have looked at the standalone software utility called Xcrypt but it is not what I require, any suggestions and comments would be appreciated.

Could try reading this:

http://www.funet.fi/pub/crypt/cryptography/libs/README

Best out of that list looks like this one:

http://www.funet.fi/pub/crypt/cryptography/libs/cryptlib.tgz

But I don't know if it's calling and function is compatible. It's listed as a Windows DLL that can do DES encryption, amongst others. Best of luck.
