If you wish to use any other hashing algorithm, you would need to write a custom authentication adapter See Docs section.</description> <required>true</required> </arg> <arg> <name>domain</name> <description>path of the domain that the user belongs to. Example: domain=/com/cloud/internal. If no domain is passed in, the ROOT domain is assumed.</description> <required>false</required> </arg> <arg> <name>domainId</name> <description>id of the domain that the user belongs to.

Now i am getting problems when I try to log in to this web interface.it seems to be a hash problem. I am hashing the password as below: $password = hash(sha256 ,$_POST['password']); but still can not login. Is this the right hash algorithm i am using? Kind regards and merry christmas! *Salar*
