Storing End-User Passwords In SQL Server Tables -

I am building a web application using SQL Server and VBScript ASPs. I would normally use CAPICOM to hash the passwords and store them in a user table. When the user wants to log in, I hash the string he supplied during the challenge and compare it to the value stored in the DB.

The server administrators for this project want to avoid having to install the CAPICOM DLLs if they can. Someone said that SQL Server had built-in enctryption functionality. I'd rather use a one-way hash, but I can't seem to figure out what they were talking about.

Anyone have an idea? Is it possible to ask SQL Server to hash or encrypt the string as I am storing it in the table?
