HashType

Summary

Sets the algorithm used to encrypt the user passwords stored in the database.

Usage

 
HashType=md5_password|md5_user|md5_site|plaintext

Description

You can choose between several different md5 algorithms and plaintext storage. We strongly recommend using one of the md5 algorithms since plaintext storage imposes a huge security risk for your users.

  • md5_password - A hash is generated based solely on the users password.
  • md5_user - A hash is generated based on the username and the password.
  • md5_site - A hash is generated based on the sitename, username and password. Note that if you change the sitename your users can not log on anymore.
  • plaintext -
