Hello everybody, I am trying to build a a client/server application using Perspective Broker and wanting to authenticate against a PostgreSQL database. Everything works fine if I user plain text passwords, but when trying to hash then using md5 using
from hashlib import md5 md5Password = md5(password).hexdigest() then it does not authenticate (I use credentials.checkMD5Password(password) at the checker class) Then after reading twisted/spread/pb.py I saw that everything is done in the functions: respond(challenge, password) challenge() and the methods checkMD5Password(self, md5Password) checkPassword(self, password) at the class _PortalAuthChallenger(Referenceable, _JellyableAvatarMixin) By changing digest() with hexdigest(), it works. The question is: I there some way to make it work without making changes at the 'pb.py' module? Yes. I should use md5Password = md5(password).digest() to produce the password, but then I cant authenticate with a 'pure-ftpd' daemon I need to work with. Any alternatives? Thanks in advance.
