in 1.3 the auth component was much more complex than it is in 2.0 - I'm not sure which variables in 2.x you're wanting a description of but their doc blocks probably explain their purpose if there is nothing about them in the book. > What i am trying to do is i need to convert my password in to Clean MD5 > only i don't want any extra string need to be added other then my password > only like i don't want salt string etc. > md5 is a very weak algorithm - it's a very poor choice for password hashing. Worse, unsalted md5s can be reversed even with google - e.g. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 Are you _sure_ you want to do that? It's a very³ bad idea - it's barely (and I really do mean only just) better than storing passwords in plaintext.
