How do you use md5 passwords in PAS?
I've got an SQL database already populated with usernames and md5 passwords from an old system that I am replacing - I don't have the cleartext passwords.
You write an authentication plugin which takes the credentials as keys in a dict (e.g., 'login_name', 'password'), encrypts the password using the same algorithm as your old system, and then compares them. E.g., (untested):: import md5 PASSWORD_TEST_SQL = ("select * from users where login_name = '%s' " "and encrypted_pw = '%s'") def authenticateCredentials(self, credentials): login = credentials['login'] clear = credentials['password'] encrypted = md5.new(clear).hexdigest() # or whatever matched = self._execSQL(PASSWORD_TEST_SQL % (login, encrypted)) if matched: return matched[0]['userid'], login return {} Tres. - -- =================================================================== Tres Seaver +1 202-558-7113 tseaver@palladion.com Palladion Software "Excellence by Design" http://palladion.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFK8mt+gerLs4ltQ4RAsfdAJ9WVfYSFdVKoJLpE66WXDwi6+ssqgCg0yGz EEMHjFMrCdq0hjcWIhySnXY= =7L1E -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
