The password user receives upon signing up with PayPal for subscription is different from the one parsed by PayPal to our Server URL through hidden form. For instance, the password the user sees on the subscription confirmation page is "cab-luck", the password parsed through hidden form to our Server URL is "YLQk3VbttGOmI". My guess is that the password showing on Server URL is encrypted. My question is how to encrypt the password user receives to match the one the system receives. Please provide ASP/VBScript sample code. Our site is not on Apache.Thanks

Authenticate Password:

PayPal will generate a username/password pair for each subscriber and communicate these variables to you in your Instant Payment Notification posts.

Your code will activate or deactivate the pairs based on your password protection process.

Note: Passwords sent through IPN will be hashed. The hash is generated by the UNIX crypt() function which is based on the DES hashing algorithm. For more information, type "man crypt" on any UNIX terminal.

Here is a link to a site if you would like to do it manually:
