Password valiation in a BPM

Authenticating within the Client

Bing in Epicor.Mfg.Core.Session.dll

add using Epicor.Mfg.Core;

Then to test authentication on a button of sorts,, you get the idea I hope
if you need more details let me know

try
{
Session _session = new
Session(userTextField,PasswordTexField,"AppServerDC://yourServer:9001",Session.LicenseType.Default);
EpiMessageBox.Show("Logged In");
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
EpiMessageBox.Show("Bad Password");
}

Our quality auditors want to have reconfirmation of a user passwoird on certain transactions to be sure that the user who is entering the transaction is the user who is loggeed in.

Does anybody know of a BPM that can confirm a user password? Or some other technique for this?
From a BPM, you'd have to be able to do something in 4GL that would
perform the hashing function that Epicor uses to generate their
passwords in userfile, and compare the hash of your user-supplied input
to the value in userfile.password.

Not sure how you would do that.

A better route might be to write some custom code for the client that
would require the user to establish a new Vantage session. I've seen
some code tossed around the group that does that, but I can't find it in
my stash of stuff I've kept. But the idea would be if the user can
establish a session, then they must have supplied the correct password.
You'd close the session immediately (and consume the Vantage license for
a brief amount of time).

Not sure about password masking in the EpiTextBox control, either.

Subject: [Vantage] Password valiation in a BPM

Our quality auditors want to have reconfirmation of a user passwoird on
certain transactions to be sure that the user who is entering the
transaction is the user who is loggeed in.

Does anybody know of a BPM that can confirm a user password? Or some
other technique for this?
