MDL-20365_auth_db_salted_passwords -
Easy
-
This patch adds an option to use Salted Crypt passwords for the password format with external database authentication. Unix passwords are often encrypted with salt characters. The salt characters become part of the encrypted password. To test a new plain password to see if it's valid, you must encrypt the new password it with the same salt characters as the old password, then compare the result.. Salted Crypt passwords happened to be used in the database of the system I needed to authenticate against. Hence this patch.
