Microsoft SQL server using clear text file to store credentials. Can I store the hash of password instead?

Question

I'm currently using SQL server 2008 R2(SP1) and SQL server 2008 (SP3) and the applications using these servers are storing the credentials in a plain text json file. My issue is I need to store user credentials as access is only allowed to authorized users.

How should I go about this? Could I sub out the credentials with the hashed version?

Answer 1

您可以尝试：

SELECT pwdencrypt('YOURPASSWORDHERE')

Answer 2

use this

DECLARE @HashThis nvarchar(4000);
SET @HashThis = CONVERT(nvarchar(4000),'yourpassword');
SELECT HASHBYTES('SHA1', @HashThis);
