While developing a Single-Sign-On (SSO) feature for Commodore Barry Bridge Portal (CBB), I ended up writing this simple C program to move passwords between our central authentication server and the data acquisition stations that are running LabView.

/* $Id: pswd.c,v 1.1 2004/12/07 15:12:38 cinar Exp $
 *
 * pswd.c: is a simple program which emulates the password
 * encryption/encoding process done by LabView HTTP Server
 * (part of G Server)'s sub-vi named "Pswd Encode Password.vi"
