Hiya,

Someone asked me about this a while back. I haven't looked at this since I worked on a case as a newbie back in ye olden days (2010), but I'd imagine that it should still work.

The following will change the password field on the Self Service tab to a regular password field, and encrypt any new self service passwords using 3DES. If you want to encrypt old passwords, you’ll need to re-enter them.

1: Go to Administration -> Customisation -> Visitor -> Screens, then change the visi_password field to another type (I selected WWW URL).

2: In Management Studio, run the following:

-- set the field length to 3x the

-- max password length (required)

USE CRMSelfService

ALTER TABLE visitor

ALTER COLUMN visi_password NVARCHAR (150)

GO

-- set the entry type to Password, and set

-- the max entry lengths

USE CRM

UPDATE Custom_Edits SET ColP_EntryType = 49,

ColP_DataSize = 50, ColP_LookupWidth = 50

WHERE ColP_ColName = 'visi_password'

GO

Refresh the metadata, then do an IIS reset, and you're done.

Hope this helps,

Rob

Thanks Rob,,I will try it asap and tell you if it still works.
