Dear all, I'm a little bit lost with Crypto method. I need authentication from a mobile app towards web2py. If I'm not in wrong, web2py now uses sha512 as default to crypt auth user password. >From my iOS app I'm sending the password encrypted with the same Hash Algorithm sha512, because I don't want to send the password clear through the net >From web2py console I can do:
b='sha512$$83d97b71499bee6b9d42dee9d3a6e5d00ecc8c891346d25d1909b3aac9abaa0ad4864fe4eacf159cd3f4a0ad764178d014ac378dfffc5e4023f6dbcfb0992648' where b is exactly my mobile password string that I'm sending to web2py trough "Json" >>> b 'sha512$$83d97b71499bee6b9d42dee9d3a6e5d00ecc8c891346d25d1909b3aac9abaa0ad4864fe4eacf159cd3f4a0ad764178d014ac378dfffc5e4023f6dbcfb0992648' >>> a= CRYPT(digest_alg='sha512',salt=False)('pippo')[0] now ,if I do a==b, it returns True The problem is that I'm not able to compare auth.user password with my mobile password! Both are encrypted, with the same algorithm, but auth.login_bare(user,psw) returns alway false because it wants clear-password The solution to me appears that I have to compare the two encrypted password, but may be on the wrong way. Help please...
