Now that user gets fired. Your password algorythm is hard coded and is therefore VERY difficult to change. You basically need to recompile if you wish to change your password algorythm. That employee who was fired decides he wants revenge so he gains access to one of the network computer logs into your app before you can recompile and he does as much damage as he can.

But now, you need to eliminate the user from both Active Directory AND your user table - why do it twice?
