Hi Guys!

I am having to post this message again as I have'nt recieved any replies. I hope one of you could answer my questions. I am trying to find an answer by reading some documention and SQL Server magazine. I'll post the solution if I find one first. Here's my question again:

I am running IIS 5.0 and SQL Server 7.0 on different servers. I would like to access a database on SQL Server (different users should have different permissions depending on login names) through IIS i.e. over the internet. I could use digital certificates to ensure security while accessing IIS. Now, how can I ensure security when I run perl scripts on IIS to access SQL Server database ? I don't want to pass the login, password info. between IIS and SQL Server in clear text. Is there a way to do this without using password encryption algorithms. What are best encrption algorithms around?

thanks,

Sridhar
