Modern Koha uses bcrypt with a salt to encrypt passwords.

Hi, it's using the Perl module Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt and it's being salted. I used the following recently when resetting a password in the database: perl -e 'use lib "/usr/share/koha/lib/"; use Koha::AuthUtils; print Koha::AuthUtils::hash_password("password_here") . "\n";' Hope that helps. -- Jason Etheridge | Support Manager | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Open Source Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: jason@esilibrary.com | web: http://www.esilibrary.com
