13: Response to Data migration (response to 1)
Posted by Hamilton Chua on 06/24/02 11:27 AM
Hello,

I am in the process of migrating a project which we started with OACS Alpha to the Beta code.

I am uncertain as how to proceed with regards to migrating users. In particualr, I am having problems with the password and salt.

If i were migrating from OACS 3.x, it would be a simple matter of getting the password from the OACS3 db and use the add user API on the OACS4 db.

However, I am migrating from OACS4 alpha to OACS4 beta. Wherein the password is already hashed. I don't think inserting the hashed password and the salt into the new db will do it. Will it ?

Thanks
