Can I remove password encryption

[drewhart71]

I am registering users in another application and sending the user information directly to the user database via php.  Obviously, the password doesn't encrypt that way.  Is there a way to turn off the encryption and/or does someone know the php/script or whatever I would need to run a straight forward numerical password to make it encrypted before writing it to the database.  Many thanks in advance,

Drew

I would definitely not remove the password encryption.

CSMms uses standard encryption via md5:

You can easily find that it in the admin/adduser.php:

Code: Select all

#$query = "INSERT INTO ".cms_db_prefix()."users (user_id, username, password, active, create_date, modified_date) VALUES ($new_user_id, ".$db->qstr($user).", ".$db->qstr(md5($password)).", $active, '".$db->DBTimeStamp(time())."', '".$db->DBTimeStamp(time())."')";

or the lib/classes/class.user.inc.php:

Code: Select all

	function SetPassword($password)
	{
		$this->password = md5($password);
	}

So all you need is to md5 your passwords before saving it to the database.
