You write an authentication plugin which takes the credentials as keys
in a dict (e.g., 'login_name', 'password'), encrypts the password using
the same algorithm as your old system, and then compares them. E.g.,
(untested)::
import md5
PASSWORD_TEST_SQL = ("select * from users where login_name = '%s' "
"and encrypted_pw = '%s'")
def authenticateCredentials(self, credentials):
login = credentials['login']
clear = credentials['password']
encrypted = md5.new(clear).hexdigest() # or whatever
matched = self._execSQL(PASSWORD_TEST_SQL % (login, encrypted))
if matched:
return matched[0]['userid'], login
return {}
