RE: saving sensitive data with md5
Good point, I was assuming you would notice and unset() password on an edit (since the only way a user can edit it is by providing the unencrypted form.) Yours is a good solution *except* when the user enters a 32 character length password consisting of only 0-9, A-F or a-f characters ;) I know, what are the chances, but... Anyhow you could also add a validation (ON the controller side so you can still save a hashed password ;) to avoid user filling in a password with specific md5 rules. -MI --- Remember, smart coders answer ten questions for every question they ask.

saving sensitive data with md5
Hi - I'm using cake's MVC approach which works really great. I like the ability to use the MVC and save from the controller; it makes things nice and is very easy. I did run into a problem which I can't figure out, however. Let's say I want to save sensitive information like a password in the database. Currently, it appears cake will only let you save in clear text (won't let you hash) in the default MVC approach. Does anyone have a solution to the problem above - while still taking advantage of the elegant, automated MVC approach? It almost seems like I'm stuck with one or the other - kind of annoying.

Re: saving sensitive data with md5
This is not a cakePHP problem so much as a programming issue. If you learn how to hash md5's using php, you'll be able to do them in cake.

RE: saving sensitive data with md5
Sure, use the beforeSave and beforeFind on the model side.
class User extends AppModel {
// ...
function beforeSave() {
if (isset($this-data[$this-name]['password'])) {
$this-data[$this-name]['password'] =
md5($this-data[$this-name]['password']);
}
return parent::beforeSave();
}
function beforeFind($queryData) {
if (isset($queryData[$this-name]['password'])) {
$queryData[$this-name]['password'] =
md5($this-data[$this-name]['password']);
}
return $queryData;
}
}
This way when from your controller you are saving the model having the
password field set, it will automatically hash it:
$data = array(
'User' = array('user' = 'mariano', 'password' = 'password')
);
$this-User-save($data);
The same way when you are looking for a record if you set the password field
as part of the data to be searched for, it will hash it:
$conditions = array(
'User' = array('user' = 'mariano', 'password' = 'password')
);
$result = $this-User-find($conditions);

Re: saving sensitive data with md5
No need to jump up and down proclaiming the original message poster to be incompetant while trumpeting CakePHP's virtues. Why don't you learn from Mariano and provide a solution. You've done it in a few message threads today, and it's not productive at all.

Re: saving sensitive data with md5
Will that re-hash the MD5'ed password field when editing and then
saving again?
I do this at the moment:
In model:
function beforeSave() {
$password = isset($this-data['User']['password'])?$this-data['User']
['password']:;
if (!preg_match(VALID_MD5,$password) {
$this-data['User']['password'] = md5($this-data['User']
['password']);
}
return true;
}
In bootstrap:
define('VALID_MD5','/^[a-fA-F0-9]{32}$/i');
