I'm having trouble getting the mysql authdaemond module to work with MD5 password hashes.

After "authtest myuser mypass", the log says:

authdaemond: supplied password 'mypass' does not match encrypted password ' {MD5}a029d0df84eb5549c641e04a9ef389e5

You need to use base64-encoding, not hex-encoding. Something like:

$ perl -e 'use Digest::MD5 qw(md5_base64); print "{MD5}" . md5_base64("mypass") . "\n";' {MD5}oCnQ34TrVUnGQeBKnvOJ5Q

I see.

Bummer. PHP's md5() uses hex-encoding. I wanted to auth against a Drupal user db.

Like http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.md5.php says?

<?php

function md5_base64 ( $data ) { return preg_replace('/=+$/','',base64_encode(pack('H*',md5($data)))); }

?>
