Password Format in MSSQL Database Tue. Jul 26, '05 10:06 PM (permalink)
0
G'day,
 
We are looking at purchasing this forum software however just one question:
 
Are the passwords for registered users stored in the database in an encrypted format or are they plain text. If they are encrypted can you define them not to be stored encrypted?
 
Thanks

The password is stored as hash, not encrypted. If you'd like to authenticate your user with the forum database, you can utilize our Site Integration Package (PGDLogin class) to do it without having to know how the password is salted and hashed. If you want to update the password using your own routine, you can update the password in clear-text format to the db and the software will hash it the first time the user logs in.
