K259	Friday 22 September 2006 4:50:36 am According to hash_type in site.ini and documentation for md5_user, the password_hash is generated by concatenating login, password, but this can not be. I testet to make an md5 hash out of my login+pass, but they don't match my password_hash in the ezuser table. Why? Is there anything missing in the docs here, or does md5_user contain more values to hash?
Claudia Kosny	Friday 22 September 2006 5:18:45 am Hi K259 Google is definitely your friend. As my Perl knowledge is rudimentary at best I don't know how useful these tips are, but this is a common problem. http://lu.php.net/manual/en/function.md5.php#31238 http://www.jaguarpc.com/forums/showthread.php?p=100421 and There is no such thing as incompatibility between different implementation of MD5. There only one MD5 in the world. Probably, you want to $digest = $ctx->hexdigest; in perl. (No clue what it means, I hope it helps you) Greetings from Luxembourg Claudia

K259	Friday 22 September 2006 5:26:48 am This: md5_site: $str = md5( "$user\n$password\n$site" ); What if I got a letter ö in the SiteName under settings/site.ini. I have a sql-statement which don't take this variable because there's an error on the site variabel. I tried: $str = md5( "$user\n$password\n"xxxöxxx"" ); But I can't enter this ö in the script (VI editor), it won't allow me. Any ideas how I can get around this? When SiteName contains unsupportet letters..? Thanks
Claudia Kosny	Friday 22 September 2006 5:38:43 am Hello K259 This seems to depend on the database or on the character set used. SELECT MD5( 'ö testing' ) worked fine for me on a utf8 website with utf8 database. I think if you cannot use the md5 function of SQL with your setup you have to persevere and your perl to produce a php type md5 string. Then there should not be a problem as the md5 contains only 'legal' characters. Claudia
