Dear all

 

We use continuum 1.1 and mysql to store the users and all the other data.  We 
want to add continuum users manually to the users-database.  The reason why we 
want to do this is that we created a module which makes it possible to log 
users in automatically to subversion, mantis ...  Now we want to do the same 
for continuum, but all our attempts failed.

 

The problem is that we don't know how Continuum encodes the password.  We tried 
to configure redback in the security.properties, so it uses SHA1.  But when we 
manually create an sql statement in mysql and we use sha1('userpassword'), it 
generates a completely different value for that particular field.  If we use 
plaintext, it works, but having plain text passwords in the database is rather 
obscure if you ask me.  So we definitely want to avoid that.  

 

Is there a way to execute an sql statement to enter a user in the database.  It 
doesn't matter if that user doesn't have any rights or not, as long as the 
account is created and the user can log in, it's fine.  After that we can think 
about the user rights :-).

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Kr,
