PHPRunner General questions
M
 mlapl1 author

I am trying to use the joomla username and password information (in jos_users table) to provide me with login information for a PHPRunner application. There is a major problem though. PHPRunner appears to be using standard md5 encryption (I have not checked but it seems that way) and Joomla uses a much more complex encryption algorithm.
Has anyone found a way of dealing with such a problem and, if so, how. Alternatively, does anyone know how to switch joomla to standard md5 encryption with breaking the joomla software?
Thank you very much

Bonjour
I'd just made a try:
I'd changed the password using

phpadmin (V 2.11.3)

of two websites one phpr5 and 1 under joomla1.5

(joomla doesn't use the phpr'database!!)
I edited, changed the password I need (value)

theb changed the "function" to "MD5"...
No problem
I modified both with the same "visual able" passw:

same md5 result (32 car long)

and both workable

Merci de votre réponse Kjp <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=39709&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
I am sorry but I did not quite understand your answer - very shorthand ... maybe I should re-visit phpmyadmin...
I need for phprunner to read passwords generated by the joomla registration process - and I do not think it can - unless I can modify the phprunner files to do this.
I believe, however, that Joomla can read passwords generated by phprunner (but I think that you are saying the opposite).
Is that what you discovered? Sorry but I did not follow your description relating to "visual able" etc. I think I am becoming brain-dead :-((
Ciao

André bonjour
If you loose your password, (joomla or phpr),

you can (you are administrator) go on the phpadmin of your provider database.

Here, you edit the user's passw, delete , tape your own ,

but before valid,

take care to select in the "function" combo "MD5"

Then valid.

your passw is now encrypted.
I tried that with joomla and phpr, both recognized the new loggin.
But I did not try to use joomla's users table within phpr ...
