How can I establish what the standard encryption agent(s) is (are) for MySQL?
SELECT ENCRYPT('password'), PASSWORD('password'), MD5('password');
generates a different encrypted password to what:
you are seriuolsy confused, this is the expected behaviuor. ENCRYPT calls crypt() system call PASSWORD is mysql specific way to encrypt password suitable for encrypting MySQL passwords for storage in the "Password" column of the user grant table. ( do not use this in your app) MD5 quite obviuoly uses MD5 if you are coming from older mysql versions, and you used PASSWORD() to "encrypt" your passwords in newver mysql versions you must use OLD_PASSWORD() to obtain the same old result. this function is deprecated and I suggets you convert your passwords (with the password reminder form) ASAP because it may go away at anytime soon. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
