How to simulate openssl passwd?

[joseggarza]

Hello nice people at LiveCode.

I need some help, I am in need to develop a module to authenticate users using a 3rd party MySql Database. It seems simple, but when I saw the Hash for the password, I had to do a little research and I found they are using this:

openssl passwd -1 -salt SALT PASSWORD.

-1 means MD5 with SALT... and the Password to hash...

in database I see something like:

$1$salt$qJH7.N4xYta3aEG/dfqo/0

$1$ ----> md5
then
the salt
then after the last $ comes the HASH(qJH7.N4xYta3aEG/dfqo/0).


well, My question is, knowing the SALT and that it uses MD5, HOW can I get the same STRING with livecode to compare against the DB HASH.


I tried MD5digest without any success.


basically all I need md5-crypt() from livecode, but I cant find it.

Thanks in advance for your support.
