Password Salt

Ok so no one posted a working Joomla -> PHPVMS bridge so I’m going to have a go writing my own.

What I need to know is: does the password Salt have to be set correctly or can I use a default Salt Value?

If it unique based on the user registration data how is it created, so I can recreate it in Joomla?

Doesn’t matter how it’s created, as long as it’s correct to match the password. I use the current time combined with something else ( I don’t remember off hte top of my head)

after looking into the code properly the PHPVMS system creates the salt as so:

it MD5 encrypts the current 24 hour time e.g. MD5(19:05:02)

gonna take a proper look at the code tomorrow and try and work out how to pass the reg values from joomla
