sha password encoder function - how it works

[sandhy]

Hi all.. am new to this forum and also for sha password encoder.

In our application, the implementation of password encryption is that they used sha password encoder from spring with 256 bits. the argument they are passing is 'user id' and 'password'. In java they used this sha password encoder function to encrypt the password.

In mysql query browser, i just want to encrpt the given password and insert a row in the user table. i want to know that what i have to use in order to encrypt the given password in mysql query browser. The resultant encrypted value should be the same as the that of the sha password encoder function. Please help me.

Thanks!
