username and role protection in C#

[TheEarthWillShake]

I have a a web app that uses single sign on but it still needs to read my web app to see if a user is allowed on the site.

Would hashing the username and role be enough security? What other methods are there? It's gonna be working with a Oracle database.

Edit: Looks like I need to do something with Cryptographic Hashing?

Look into the System.Security.Cryptography Namespace. It will do what you want.

Why would you want to reinvent the wheel? Look up OracleMembershipProvider on Oracle's Website.

Sometimes getting experience is a valuable part of programming. It's great to have libraries and functions already built in, but you can grow in your skill set a lot if you "reinvent the wheel" sometimes.

On the other side of that, he might not have known about OracleMembershipProvider.

I did not but I don't think we can use ODP.NET. Stupid standards :-/
