pwdencrypt and Case sensitive

Hi there
I know how to use pwdencrypt for my password and know how to use collation,
but how can I merge it together to make my password case sensitive and
pwdencrypt working, because collation only not support varbinary and my
pwdencrypt is saved on varbinary data type.
Any one has idea how to to this?
Thanks
Tony
I believe pwdencrypt behavior depends on the instance default collation. In
any case, you shouldn't use the undocumented pwdencrypt function in your
code. This may change or be removed in future SQL Server service packs or
versions.
Hope this helps.

If you knew that then you wouldn't be using it. ;-) Don't.
..NET provides classees for generating password hashes. They are more secure
than pwdencrypt and they are also properly documented and supported whereas
pwdencrypt is likely to break or disappear in future releases.

|||I am Tony's coworker and using .NET to encrypt the password is not an
attractive option because it means that we cannot operate the database
without .NET. It makes the business tier and database tier tightly
coupled or to use some of my old C++ jargon "It breaks encapsulation!"
If we were using Yukon, then .NET would be the way to go.
