I need to call a VBscript function on a classic asp page from some server-side c#.net code – does anyone know of a clean way to do this? Rewriting the function in .net is not an option.
I’ll explain a bit more about the problem…
The client side function in question is an MD5 implementation written in VBScript & used to hash passwords. I’m redeloping the site in .Net, and want to move the password encryption across to SHA, in order to do this I need to catch the users on the first logon with the old mechanism (legacy MD5 implementation), hash their passwords using SHA & store the new hashes for future use.
The problem I’m having is that I’m not able to authenticate the users on the new .Net site using the old MD5 implementation.
I’ve tried the suggestions posted, but for some strange reason when I call the function from a ‘foo.asp’ page (which only serves to call the function) it gives me different results to the legacy site!
Going a bit crazy with this one – perhaps it’s an encoding thing?
I’ve also tried to convert the Legacy MD5 algorithm to .Net, but to no avail.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Here is the legacy script:
