Hi, I have build a website where users need to identity themselfs using basic auth. I have then installed auth_pgsql_mod on my Apache 2.0 server (Redhat 8.0), and that works fine. I would like to store the passwords in the database in MD5 encrypted form, and that works fine to, if I write the md5 encrypted string in the database manually. When I use the md5sum to translate plain text to md5 on the command line on my Linuxbox, and place that in the database, it works fine. Now I want users to be able to write plain written text on the webpage, and then the page translates that into a md5 string and from there store the md5 string in the database. But it is not the same encryption, I get two different encrypted strings if I use the md5() function. Why? Kelvin :-)
