Problem to login after changed password and security

Hi!

I did my first install of mojo today and it seams great! You have done a wonderfull job for what I´ve seen so far.

So, I did an install, logged in, created my pages and then changed my admin pass and changed the security from plain text to hashed values.

Then I logged out and my problem begun

I cant log back in again.. I tried with the admin@admin.com email (that I didn't change) and my new pass..no luck. I checked in the db user table and I could see that my password was the new one but still in plain text??!!! Well good for me I thought since now I could just copy paste the mail and password and login but that didnt work either, still gives me wrong password.

Any clue how to fix this without doing a reinstall?

I really want to use hashed values and of course be able to change my password

Im running this locally so I can't try with another browser, but I cleaned my cookies and temp files without luck.

Any help is appreciated

Edit: It's running on W2k3, IIS6 with MSSQL2005 as backend, It's not the open-source version and I am trying to access it with IE7

/F.L

Ps sorry if I am unclear, English is not my first language...

Re: Problem to login after changed password and security

If the password is not encrypted in the mp_users table, then look in mp_Sites and set password format column to 0 and you should be able to login again. Next change your admin account to your real email address so that if you lock yourself out again you can use password recovery. Make sure smtp is working correctly before changing password format to encrypted or hashed also so you can recover/reset your password if you lock yourself out.

Also after changing your password be sure and log out and then login again before making other changes.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Problem to login after changed password and security

OK I was a little too fast.

I managed to restore the security mode back to plain text (0) so I could login.

Then configured smtp so that worked ok.

 

But when trying hashed values I´m stuck again. It changes the column in mp_sites to the new security setting, but does not update the column in the user table, still plain text.

The second mode works fine though (Crypt password). Just the last one that doesn't work.

Do I need to do something special in the database to enable hashed values?

 

Many thanks

F.L

Re: Problem to login after changed password and security

Hi,

I am able to produce this problem here. Changing from clear text to encrypted works, but changing from clear text to Hashed does seem to be broken, so it appears to be a bug. It used to work so something must have changed and broken it. I will look into this today and post again after its fixed.

Best,

Joe

Re: Problem to login after changed password and security

I fixed this just now. The fix will be in svn trunk by tonight for developers and will be in the next release for everyone else. I'll try to make a release within the next week.

Best,

Joe
