digest.hash_md5
Available inall subroutines.
Returns an MD5 hash for the string s
. MD5 is not considered a secure
cryptographic hash.
Example
declare local var.hash_md5 STRING;set var.hash_md5 = digest.hash_md5("123456789");# var.hash_md5 is now "25f9e794323b453885f5181f1b624d0b"

Store username/password list in an edge dictionary, authorize user at the edge, reject requests that don't have correct credentials.
Check validity of inputs using a non-crypto hash
Block or identify syntactically invalid requests at the edge by using a hash function of your choice.
