XF 2.2 Secret_key

[Seeker-Smith]

Can I assume that this is the Bcrypt password field?

You've asked about auth a few times now.

What is it you're trying to do?

Note that imported accounts won't be using Bcrypt until they next log in.

Yes I understand that accounts will be updated during login. Yes I have asked about auth a few times. The reason is vb lied to me and after purchasing I was unable to use the vb usertable as a auth source for mysql_auth on my legacy site. It uses Apache basic auth and we have customized it to read crypt, md5, vb, mybb, and a couple others. If Secret_key is the stored password then we can update to Bcrypt and be happy and peppy once again.

The legacy site uses the permissions from the forum usertable to grant / deny access.

The secret_key is not the password.

The password is not stored in plain text in the DB - it is hashed.

You need the data from the xf_user_authenticate table.

Thanks.

So I'll need to user data from a couple tables for usergroup etc then password. It should work. Does the secret_key change at all? With password updates etc?
