Gossamer Forum: Products: DBMan: Installation: Large number of passwords

Okay. Now we're gettin' somewhere. Smile

Save the following in your DBMan directory as convert.cgi. Be sure to note the comment lines and make changes as necessary.

Code:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl  
# Change the line above to match your path to perl 

$db_script_path = "."; 

# change the line below to the name of your current password file 
$password_file = $db_script_path . "/password.txt"; 

# Full path and file name of the password file. 
  $auth_pw_file   = $db_script_path .  "/default.pass"; 
# Permissions for every user (View, Add, Delete, Modify, Admin), 1 = enable, 0 = disable. 
@auth_signup_permissions = (1,1,1,1,0); 

open (PASS, "<$password_file") or  
 &cgierr("error in convert. unable to open password file: $password_file.\nReason: $!"); 
  @lines=<PASS>; 
close PASS; 

srand( time() ^ ($$ + ($$ << 15)) );	# Seed Random Number 

open (PASS, ">$auth_pw_file") or  
 &cgierr("error in convert. unable to open password file: $auth_pw_file.\nReason: $!"); 
   foreach $line (@lines) { 
     @data=split '|',$line; 
     my @salt_chars  = ('A' .. 'Z', 0 .. 9, 'a' .. 'z', '.', '/'); 
	 my $salt        = join '', @salt_chars[rand 64, rand 64]; 
	 my $encrypted   = crypt($data[1], $salt);			 
	 my $permissions = join (":", @auth_signup_permissions); 
     print PASS "$data[0]:$encrypted:$permissions\n"; 
   } 
close PASS;	 

chmod 0666, $auth_pw_file; 

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n 
       <html><head><title>Passwords Converted</title><head> 
       <body>Your passwords were converted</body></html>"; 


sub cgierr { 
# -------------------------------------------------------- 
# Displays any errors  

	if (!$html_headers_printed) { 
		print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; 
		$html_headers_printed = 1; 
	} 
	print "<PRE>\n\nCGI ERROR\n==========================================\n"; 
	$_[0]      and print "Error Message       : $_[0]\n";	 
	$0         and print "Script Location     : $0\n"; 
	$]         and print "Perl Version        : $]\n";	 
	print "\n</PRE>"; 
	exit -1; 
}

Set the permission to 755 on convert.cgi and run it from your browser --
http://www.server.com/cgi-bin/dbman/convert.cgi

When you see the page that says, "Your passwords were converted," you'll be all done.

Be sure to delete the convert.cgi script from your directory after you finish with it. You don't want to run it a second time! Smile
