Bjørn Sandvik	Tuesday 07 September 2004 7:09:03 am I want to make a template with list of users on a website (for administration purposes). I want do display the login and password for each user. The login is easy to fetch - but the password is stored as a hash string. Is it a way to translate a hash string to show the real password in a template? contentobject_id string 148 login string 'fivh-bergen' email string 'fivh-b@online.no' password_hash string 'a8ee045d6ffca9b31a5e1b68f4555e38' password_hash_type string 2 http://blog.thematicmapping.org http://www.globalis.no
Bård Farstad	Tuesday 07 September 2004 7:26:50 am Bjørn, you cannot show the real password in the template. It's not available for security reasons. If you want to use plaintext passwords you need to change the HashType in site.ini: HashType=plaintext If you change the password hash it will only affect newly created accounts, since there is no way (except brute force) to get the password from the hash. --bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc

Bjørn,

you cannot show the real password in the template. It's not available for security reasons.

If you want to use plaintext passwords you need to change the HashType in site.ini:

HashType=plaintext

If you change the password hash it will only affect newly created accounts, since there is no way (except brute force) to get the password from the hash.
