K259	Friday 22 September 2006 2:02:32 am I have problems with user import. Don't get the correct hash_value for password_hash in ezuser table. I'm using md5_user for hashing. my $sql = uu{ update users set password=md5(login + "\n" + password) }; Anyone have an idea?
Claudia Kosny	Friday 22 September 2006 2:33:02 am Hi K259 I am not exactly sure what programming language your example code is in so here an example if you use PHP and raw SQL commands (without going through EZ) $password_hash = md5('mylogin' . "\n" . 'foobar'); $query = 'UPDATE ezuser ' . ' SET password_hash = "' . $password_hash . '"' . ' WHERE login = "mylogin"'; works fine Greetings from Luxembourg Claudia
K259	Friday 22 September 2006 3:07:36 am Hi and thanks for your answer! I'm using perl..the sql statement concatenates login and password, but I get the wrong hash_value for password_hash. Guess I've tried almost everything: concatenate just password in plaintext, concat login+password in plaintext, concat login,password in plaintext + site + hash_type, but I know the md5_user function I shall use, only concatenate login and password in plaintext, but I don't know why the hash is not correct :(
