#29 add users redux

[Charley Sparks]

I wouldn't mind adding users the hard way with
myphpadmin ( I don't have shell access ) but how can I
get around the md5 hashing and still get the access to
work, I only need 4 users total

Thank You

Besides, I tried the following

- to add a new user:
use webo; insert into users values ('fred',
password('fred'),'enabled',NULL);

- change the password for the default "webo-adm"
acount:
use webo; update users set userpassword
=password('test') where userid='webo-adm';

Both fail. Obviously, Webo-adm doesn't use the hashing
provided by password().

In phpMyAdmin, choose the MD5 function in the popup in
front of the userpassword field.
Also, don't forget to create the associated entry in the
contacts table with correct values in the follwing fields :
- person's name in "name" field eg. 'Bar, Foo'
- "userid" field must match users.userid
- "class" field = 'user'
- "owner" field = 'webo-adm'

Should do the trick

It does use the MD5 hashing function, but there is an
additional step to add a user. I had to go into
the "autpermission" table to add the user name and "webo-
user" as the role.

so to add a user [stolen from previous post in this thread]:

Create the associated entry in the contacts table with
correct values in the follwing fields :
- person's name in 'name' field eg. 'Bar, Foo'
- 'userid' field must match users.userid
- 'class' field = 'user'
- 'owner' field = 'webo-adm'
- go to 'autpermission' table to add the user name [from
users.userid] and 'webo-user' as the role.
