Storing Passwords with md5 only

[Prox0001]

Hey guys,

I'm about to synch the userdata of my vb 3.6.9 database with an external software that is only able to deal with single md5 hashed passwords like md5(password). Now since vb hashes the passwords like this "md5(md5($pwd) . $salt)", the external software doesn't recognize them.

The support for that external software is [S]quite bad[/S] like not existing and so I have to make my vb storing the passwords after a successful login besides in the usual hashed password form also as single hashed ones in an own new row of the usertable. I'm aware of the security concerns but until the external software can deal with that encryption, there is no other way at the moment.

This procedure was already successfully done by someone else for phpbb3 (click) and so I guess it will be not that hard for vb as well.

I'm sure this is quite easy but I just don't get it working yet, so I'd highly appreciate anyone to help me with that.

Thanks a lot!
