I'm testing out the Windows 2000 IAS server and I'd like to know if there is
a way not have to use the reversible encryption? I do not want to use MD5
and I do not want to have to force the users to change their passwords to
get the authentication to work.
Currently when I try to authenticate the event log shows it's trying to use
MD5 and failing due to the password not being reversibly encrypted.
