I'm toying with batch-loading user accounts in to Blackboard. I can do the simple text file import, but I would rather dump the data directly into the Bb database. We do not yet have any hooks into our student system. Our student system is being migrated to Datatel's Colleague product and is not ready for the hooks.
So far, the only issue is the password is encrypted in the database. My first question is: Does anyone know the encryption method Bb uses for their passwords? If not, my next question is: If I know the original password value, and I also know the final encrypted value, can I arrive at the encryption method? For example, can I try the CF encryption schemes and if I find a method that gives me the correct encrypted string, from a known value, would that always work?
