MD5 format for password

[sugar7478]

Login SOAP API expects password to be sent in MD5 format.

We are planning to call SugarCRM SOAP API from a java application and create Accounts as needed. We see that we need to pass session id to call Set entry SOAP API and session is send as output after calling login SOAP API.

Login SOAP API requires user id and password (MD5 format) to validate and get a session id. Is there an utility to convert a string password to MD5 format in java or PHP?

There is usually a function or method built into the programming language that will do it for you.

For example, in PHP, the following line of code would put the MD5 encrypted string into the variable $myvar

$myvar = md5("encrypt_this");

I have very little experience with Java, so I don't know what the equivalent would be in that language. In .NET, it is a bit more involved (convoluted) than in PHP, point being, the process and complexity will vary by language.
