ad_check_password (public)

 ad_check_password user_id password_from_form

Defined in packages/acs-tcl/tcl/security-procs.tcl

Check if the provided password is correct. OpenACS never stores password, but uses salted hashes for identification. Different algorithm can be used. When the stored hash is from another hash algorithm, which is preferred, this function updates the password hash automatically, but only, when the password is correct.

Parameters:
user_id
password_from_form
Returns:
Returns 1 if the password is correct for the given user ID.
