I am trying to link together a mail application (UBmail) with Xoops. The only problem I’m having is that $xoopsUser->getVar('pass'); returns the encrypted MD5 password, which to my knowledge cannot be decrypted. My question is then, is it possible to create two variables, one encrypted for XOOPS internal usuage, and one unencrypted so the Mail program will be able to automatically get the information? If this would pose security concerns, information on that would be helpful too. Thanks!

It can be done,http://mclamb.us/other/md5.php you'll have to email me to get the whole script but just letting you know how to get it.

I'm skeptical about that script.

I don't see how to use the demo anyway, since a hex MD5 is 32 digits, and the demo only accepts two characters.

its simply brute force, nothing special but it does it extreamly fast, 7 digits in about 1:30 on the server. I had to take it down because it caused the server CPUs to spike when it executed.

Would it be feasible to leave the pass encrypted.
Then use the encryption as the pass for UBmail rather than the orginal pass.
If the idea is to login once?

The mose elegant solution would probably be to use Mercibe's Pluggable Authentication Service for Xoops2
