Password encrypt type

debasishdebs

I am trying to use vanilla users table on another Codeigniter app.
But for that i need to know how is password hashed in vanilla so that i can compare it with the password entered by user upon login.

Help please to identify the method used.

hash and crypt are two different things, but they are both encodings. A hash is a one way encoding, it is not intended to be "decrypted".

Actually you can use SSO like proxy connect, or jsconnect. Look them up in the documentation.

Vanilla can use a a variety of hash methods.

Yup i am going through proxyconnect plugin documentation but m unable to understand the part about setting up cookies. Can you help me please?

I mean where i have to insert the code of setting the cookies?

And is there any other way to change hash method of vanilla?

i found this setting in config-default.php

$Configuration['Garden']['Cookie']['HashMethod']                = 'md5'; // md5 or sha1

dont know if this is helpful to u in any respect

@sahotataran Thanx but its not md5 once right? I meant how to make my password exactly same hash as the one stored in vanilla DB so that i can compare them both !

frankly i have no experieince with it - i am just looking for variables that might be useful to u

check this setting -

$Configuration['Garden']['Cookie']['Salt'] =

i found it in config.php

In truth we use a library called 'phpass' which handles the hashing. It is not a 100% md5, as you can tell by the presence of the dollar signs.
