passwords

I have a jquery dialog modal box pop up for logging into my website. When a user clicks login it does a post request to a login.php file as follows: $.post( 'includes/login.php', { user: username, pass: password }, onLogin, 'json' ); How do I do an md5 on that password before putting it in the post request? Also, I have the user's passwords stored in a MySQL database using MD5(), so I would like to just compare the stored version of the password with the MD5 of the password submitted. Thanks to anyone that replies. James Skidmore crypto-js is a rich javascript library containing many

We're using the standard ASP.NET authentication provider (AspNetSqlMembershipProvider as it happens) and the defualt password strength requirement is a little excessive for our needs. We require our users to enter a password that is alphanumeric at least (i.e, letters and at least one number mandatory, mixed case and non-alphanumeric characters if the user so desires). Can anyone suggest what PasswordStrengthRegularExpression setting would achieve this? Also, how can we control the error message shown to the user if the password they try to use fails the regular expression check? Note It was

So my question is straight forward given a linux username and a password how can I test if it is a valid account? You can validate that a given password is correct for a given username using the shadow file. On most modern distributions, the hashed passwords are stored in the shadow file /etc/shadow (which is only readable by root). As root, pull the line from the shadow file for the given user like so: cat /etc/shadow | grep username You will see something like this: username:$1$TrOIigLp$PUHL00kS5UY3CMVaiC0/g0:15020:0:99999:7::: After the username there is $1. This indicates that it is an MD5

I would like to encrypt the passwords on my site using a 2-way encryption within PHP. I have come across the mcrypt library, but it seems so cumbersome. Anyone know of any other methods that are easier, but yet secure? I do have access to the Zend Framework, so a solution using it would do as well. I actually need the 2-way encryption because my client wants to go into the db and change the password or retrieve it. Jacco You should store passwords hashed (and properly salted ). There is no excuse in the world that is good enough to break this rule. Currently, using crypt , with CRYPT_BLOWFISH

I have a java web application using spring framework and spring security for its login. In my database I have my passwords encrypted to MD5 before being saved. I added in my application-config.xml this codes <security:authentication-provider> <security:password-encoder hash="md5"/> <security:jdbc-user-service data-source-ref="dataSource" users-by-username-query="select user_name username, user_password password, 1 enabled from users where user_name=?" authorities-by-username-query="select username, authority from authorities where username=?" /> </security:authentication-provider> At first It

The following Haskell program prompts the user for a password in the terminal and continues if he has entered the correct one: main = do putStrLn "Password:" password <- getLine case hash password `member` database of False -> putStrLn "Unauthorized use!" True -> do ... Unfortunately, the password will appear on the screen as the user types it, which I want to avoid. How can I read a sequence of characters that the users types without having the show up on the screen? What is the equivalent of getLine for this purpose? I'm on MacOS X, but I would like this to work on Windows and Linux, too.

I need to change my SVN password. I am using TortoiseSVN client. I am not able to find the password change or add user option. Is it possible? Is there any work around or command line syntax to create an SVN user or edit users? Password changes are handled by the subversion server administrator. As a user there is no password change option. Check with your server admin. If you are the admin, find your SVN Server installation. If you don't know where it is, it could be listed in Start->Programs, running under services in Start->Control Panel->Services or it could be listed under C:\Program

I have a WPF application with two PasswordBoxes, one for the password and another for the password to be entered a second time for confirmation purposes. I was wanting to use PasswordBox.SecurePassword to get the SecureString of the password, but I need to be able to compare the contents of the two PasswordBoxes to ensure equality before I accept the password. However, two identical SecureStrings are not considered equal: var secString1 = new SecureString(); var secString2 = new SecureString(); foreach (char c in "testing") { secString1.AppendChar(c); secString2.AppendChar(c); } Assert

We've talked about personal password management here but how do you guys manage your passwords at a company wide level? We have managed to plan our company applications so they are mainly web based and open source or in-house developed. This then allowed us to use LDAP to hook into active directory for logging into our intranet. From there we modified the logins into various products we use (MediaWiki, Wordpress, SugarCRM etc.) so that if the user is authenticated in the intranet, they are automatically logged into these other products as well. This has taken some time setting up the process
