[Koha] passwords

[Scott Owen]

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.

Hi John,

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.

Kind Regards,
Chris
