Well since I use linux on server side on about everything, I would say use
the crypt function if you just want simple encryption, or even better
descrypt function or if you require ssl use openssl or ssleay. I do
believe there is a windows port of ssleay...check out the links to ssleay
at www.apache-ssl.org. Maybe that will help, but maybe not as I have no
idea how far along the windows port is. I would also suggest the MD5
encode/decode functions in freeudf library, thought I can't honestly say
if windows version of that has a similar function as again I use the unix
one, if it does...this would be too easy to implement.

This way the original password will remain non-disclosed but the provider will have reasonable security that nobody else is going to ever see their actual password. I don't want people's raw passwords in the IBDI database.

I guess the CGI/ISAPI will have to take care of the encryption on the server. In which case the same snippet of code will do just fine since it will be written in Delphi as well.
