[Ovmsdev] Anyone using HTTP API?

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

Even stranger. This conversation obviously triggered someone to try it and then raise a support ticket that HTTP API authentication didn’t work.

It seems  a change was made back in 2016-02-01 23:59:22 (1b73a7f8) that broke the pw_encode function (drupal_password). It was also weird because we had drupal_password and drupal_password_check functions, doing pretty much the same thing (one used by HTTP API and the other by MQ authentication).

I standardised to use a new pw_check (overridable in the config) parameter, which defaults to:

drupal_password_check($passwordhash,$password)

and stopped using the pw_encode config value. I also changed the MQ authentication stuff to use the same pw_check parameter (so both authentication uses are now able to be changed in the same config). If using something other than drupal, just need to change the pw_check parameter in the config.

I realise that this may break other users of the server, but it doesn’t seem a difficult fix to make, and is a much better approach.

Regards, Mark
