| Re: password field in database |
| by Olivier on 2004/4/6 10:44:19 Can't you edit the program a little ? Because i think you do something like If $pwdindatabase = $pwdenterbytheuser then grant access So if the language you use let you do this maybe try If pwdindatabse = md5($pwdenterbytheuser) then grant access Maybe it will work All depends of your programming language |

| by mmartin on 2004/4/6 5:33:55 the other application is actually a .exe program so I cannot change it to use encryption .. the only thing I can do it tell it the database username, pass and the tables/fields where to get the usernames and passwords .... I actually have it working except until it's clear text I have to authenticate to it by using the encrypted password that I can see with phpmyadmin lol ... |

| password field in database |
| by mmartin on 2004/4/6 5:06:04 Is there a way to make it so that the password stored in the database is clear text? I know it's less secure but I need it this way so that I can integrate a XOOPS site with an application that reads usernames and passwords from MySQL but it will not do encryption ... thanks! |
