[horde] horde auth, crypt-md5, custom sql

[Jozef Hamar]

Hi all,

I have Horde up and running with Imp and Ingo using imp authentication.
I was playing with Horde auth last week to authenticate users directly 
against the mysql database so I'm able to configure my user accounts 
directly from Horde.
I'm using crypt-md5 hashing algorithm in my database.

Now, from my debugging, for Horde the user is apparently authenticated 
if "SELECT _criteria_" returns at least ONE record. The thing is, 
crypt-md5 uses a salt. And Horde generates its own salt every time it is 
making SELECT into database. This of course would fail.
Is there a way to setup Horde so it in the first step gets the salt from 
the db and using this stored salt it would generate with crypt-md5 the 
new actual hash which would be compared witch the stored hash?
In the way than postfix/courier/dovecot does it?

Of course, I can modify my desing and store my passwords in pure md5 or 
sha1 way, but still... If there is a choise in Horde to use crypt-md5, I 
think it can be done some way.

Thanks folks,

jh.
