Updating PHPRunner application password encryption

PHPRunner General questions

Hi,

I have a PHPRunner application that I made some time ago with PHPRunner 7. Now I have the Enterprise Edition of PHPRunner 8.1 and it uses password encryption instead of md5 hashes. I am wondering if there is a way to update this old application in PHPRunner 8.1 Enterprise Edition without breaking the original passwords. Is there a best practice for something like this? Thanks,

Brett

If you open an old project that uses MD5 password encryption in newer version of PHPRunner you still should be able to use MD5 password encryption.

Thanks Sergey,

Unfortunately my original PHPRunner files were destroyed in a hard drive crash (but my published application is still in use on my server). If I create a new application with the same fields and functionality, is there a way to still have it work with the original password system or do I just need to start over and have my users re-register? Thanks,

Brett

You can create a new dummy project in PHPRunner 7 with this option enabled and then open it in PHPRunner 9.

I think you could create a PHP script to brute force the MD5 hashes and the save the password into a plain text field, then use the enterprise version of the encryption to re-encrypt them.
I have to add this wouldn't do them all and could take a while.

Hi Sergey,

Is there some way to get PHPRunner 7.1 again? The hard drive crash destroyed it and I only have 8.1 now. Thanks,

Brett
