Title: Loading old databases with enc_old - incorrect password.
Post by: Matt on July 29, 2014, 04:38:08 PM

Hi,

I have databases from an old version of anope which use enc_old.

I have installed anope 2.0.1 and tried the following configuration:

module
{
        name = "db_old"

        /*
         * This is the encryption type used by the databases. This must be set correctly or
         * your passwords will not work. Valid options are: md5, oldmd5, sha1, and plain.
         * You must also be sure to load the correct encryption module below in the Encryption
         * Modules section so that your passwords work.
         */
        hash = "oldmd5"
}

module { name = "enc_md5" }
module { name = "enc_old" }

When i start the services and look at the log, I see that it loads the nicknames from the old databases, but when my users try to identify I get incorrect password.

How do I use databases from an old anope install on this version of anope?

Thanks

This looks ok to me.

Yeah that's what I thought. but it doesn't work.

I have also tried the following, just incase:

module
{
        name = "db_old"

        /*
         * This is the encryption type used by the databases. This must be set correctly or
         * your passwords will not work. Valid options are: md5, oldmd5, sha1, and plain.
         * You must also be sure to load the correct encryption module below in the Encryption
         * Modules section so that your passwords work.
         */
        hash = "md5"
}

module { name = "enc_md5" }

This also doesn't work. My old old databases are deffiently md5 and I use to have to change the anope config to use the broken md5 hashes whenever i built a new version so im sure that it is oldmd5 that i should be using so I'm out of idea's.

Is there anything else I can try short of making all my users re-register or going back to an older version of anope (which is just delaying the problem)?

Thanks

Well they wouldn't have to reregister, just reset their passwords with /ns reestpass. Its possible that theres something incorrect with the oldmd5 conversion mechanism, I do not see many people using it nowadays. If you come by irc.anope.org #anope maybe I can help more.

Cheers Adam,

Thanks for the quick replies.  I guess there is something odd going on with the conversion of the passwords.  I don't really see what else I can do in the config to get it to work.

Maybe I will roll back to an older version of anope and send set a logon notice for everyone to make sure their email addresses are up to date before going back to anope 2 and making everyone do reset password.

Thanks for your help.

This turned out to be an issue with anope compiled on the arm arch.

The md5 implementation doesn't seem to work correctly on arm. I tested version 1.8.9 and 2.0.1 with no luck.

For the benefit of anyone else that may be trying this. I was informed that the sha256 encryption method may work and is more supported if there are any issues.

Cheers to Adam for the help on here and irc.
