Hi Sam, I'm tring to figure out how to use crypt algorithm for user password. > looking at the code (http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/ > trunk/django/contrib/auth/models.py) lin 175 there is no way to use > other than sha1.
You're right that algo='sha1' is hard coded in User.set_password(). You've a couple of options: 1. Write your own function that's a copy of User.set_password() and uses any of the other supported algorithms. You can keep this custom function anywhere you like (it doesn't have to be a method on User). It would take a User instance and an algorithm as its parameters and do what the built-in method does. 2. You can open a ticket and suggest that algo='sha1' be moved to a keyword argument of the built-in method User.set_password so that it can be called with other values. But before you open the ticket, wait a day or two to let other developers comment on whether there was a deliberate decision to not expose algo as a user controllable parameter. -Rajesh D --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
