- The problem is that when I use the "Verify Password"/"Verify Bindery Object
- Password" call on a NW 3.11 system it fails and the file server complains that
- an unencrypted password is being used. When I type:
- "Set allow unencrypted passwords=on" at the file server console then my call
- will work. So I was wondering how I set up an encrypted password call for the
- Verify Password.
