Go back to legacy password login
Hello everyone!
We just updated our forum to vB 5 connect and we just bumped into the new password system with blowfish. Our website, as many others, is divided in which we call 2 main parts: publication (with news, articles, reviews, etc.) and forum. The publication is programmed in the old fashiond ASP 3.0. So for getting the users to be able to post comments on our news and reviews at the publication what I did is replicate the vBs login system in ASP 3.0 against the forum's mysql database and so far it was working great. The problem is that now with this blowfish system I really don't know how it works internally and therefore I'm not able to replicate it in ASP 3.0. Our users are unable to log in from the publication and comments don't work anymore. If anyone can explain me how the new algorithm works I would really appreciate it but the best solution would be to be able to keep using vB 5 and force all users, including admins, to be back to legacy passwords. Is there any way of doing that. Best Regards. |

I doubt that would be easily achieved, going back to legacy, as it is probably heavily integrated.

Thanks for the reply.
I did find a workaround. I created an php file importing config.php and i placed it within the forum folder. So the form at the publication site posts to this php file, the php file performs the login in the forum and then it redirects to the publication. With the publication ASP pages I'm able to detect session cookies and check them against the session table in the vBulletin database, so that does the trick for us. Now I'm trying to figure out how to login automatically those who choose to keep session opened. |

You can force a legacy scheme, but its not recommended, esp not for your users longterm security.
