Now that's almost working, the only thing is that exUserFolder is expecting passwords to be encrypted; which they are not. Is there a way of telling exUserFolder that it should work with non-encrypted passwords?

My reading above (from a few simple searches) suggests that XUF should allow you to choose your password hash somehow. You can probably set it to "plain" or something, or provide a "hash" method that hashes a string to itself. You'll have to check the doco or code to see exactly where. --jcc -- "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you."

Edit mysqlAuthSource/mysqlAuthSource.py Change: def cryptPassword(self, username, password): salt =username[:2] secret = crypt(password, salt) return secret to read: # Alternate cryptPassword function, returns plain text of the password. def cryptPassword(self, username, password): return password Thats all you need to do. You will have to delete and re-add and users that were added with crypted passwords.. -) Tom On Tue, 2004-02-10 at 09:15, Ivar van Duuren wrote:
