Help with passwords?

coloradoflyboy · October 2009

I'm currently creating a personal modification to Vanilla for a private site, the build-on will add about 7x the code.. I'm trying to make a new user manager within another module, and i cannot figure out how to create a new password from a custom php script. I'm not really using the framework of vanilla, so I'm looking to find out how the password is generated so i can call that function or regenerate it myself

You talking about Vanilla 2? If so, I think you're looking for this in class.passwordhash.php:

/**
* Chech a password against a stored password
*
* The stored password can be plain, a md5 hash or a phpass hash.
*
* If the password wasn't a phppass hash,
* the Weak property is set to True.
*
* @param string $Password
* @param string $StoredHash
* @return boolean
*/
function CheckPassword($Password, $StoredHash) {
$this->Weak = FALSE;
if (!isset($StoredHash[0]))
return FALSE;
if ($StoredHash[0] === '_' || $StoredHash[0] === '$') {
return parent::CheckPassword($Password, $StoredHash);
} else if ($Password && $StoredHash !== '*'
&& ($Password === $StoredHash || md5($Password) === $StoredHash)
) {
$this->Weak = TRUE;
return TRUE;
}
return FALSE;
}
