Is there a way to decrypt SHAI passwords when debugging?

Post by MarkI » Thu Sep 11, 2008 6:38 pm

Hi,

I hope this isn't a braindead question, but I've misplaced the passwords of some of my test users. I can see them via select * from ac_userpasswords in the db, but they're of course SHAI encrypted. Is there a place in the API or the db where I can see the plain English passwords for a user?

As it stands I'm just rerouting the flow of the code in the debugger to login as these lost test souls.

Many thanks,

Mark

Hello Mark,

Per PCI/PABP requirements the passwords are one way only. You can pass in a password to see if it matches, but there isn't a way to decrypt them into clear text.
Thanks for your support

You can also re-set their password from the admin.
