    Hello,

    I am trying to get this mod to work but am not sure if I know what I'm doing.  :-)

    I am using phpMyAdmin to add a user, me, to the database.  I (think) I'm using the default 'crypt' as  the AuthMySQLPwEncryption. At least that's what I have in my httpd.conf.

    In phpMyAdmin, I can use either 'PASSWORD' , 'ENCRYPT' or 'MD5'.  Which would correspond to 'crypt'?  Is this even the right way to add a user?

    TIA

      Thomas,

      Per the MySQL Reference manual, section 12.9.2 ("Encryption Functions"), Under the Encrypt function, it states:

      ----

      ENCRYPT(str[,salt])

      Encrypt str using the Unix crypt() system call...

      ----

      This is the same as the crypt() system call.

      Thanks,

      Saw your previous post about 12.8.1, but wasn't for sure.

      Again, thanks!!
