If the password are still just MD5 hashed (I'm still using 2.2.9 on windows..so I have little info on current versions)...., last time I did this, I had to do a bulk MD5 hash on my patron passwords , then bulk import patron data from a CSV (with the hashed passwords) via MySQL rather than use the built in tools. Worked fine. -Scott Owen Alma Public Schools

2010/7/14 John Simonds <simonj2@sage.edu>:
We have uploaded patron records, but koha auto generates passwords, how do we get around this? Will we have to go in to each record and create a password or is there a way to do this in a batch?
IIRC there is no way to do supply your own passwords in the bulk upload tool. You may want to open a feature request for this at bugs.koha-community.org. I worked in that area of the code back at the end of last year, and such a feature would not be too hard to add.
