I wonder if anybody have had successfuly managed Joomla users database table. I would like to know if it is possible to readr/write Joomla users record/password field as it is encrypted with MD5 algorithm (?)

You can easily read the users table and password. But you cannot revert the MD5 password. It’s impossible to recover the password from a MD5 encryption. But if you want to test the userid / password combination entered in SC with joomla it’s just a select on the usertable where password = MD5({pswfield}). Well the correct name for the fields of course. If there is a resultset then you know that the user is known in Joomla, if it fails the user has no access.
oppps, somehow I missed “this post”, but thank you for enlightening. I will study this further.
