[Zope] exUserFolder mysql authentication, password question

[Thomas Anderson]

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.. -)
