    Hi,
    First of all … GREAT PLUGIN !!
    Thanks, its really a excellent work !

    Happens that my password hash its not one of the list (md5, sha1, bcrypt, etc), its:
    Assuming… :

    $user = "username"
$password = "thisismypass"
$hash = sha1(strtoupper($user.":".$password));

    I mean… combining $user and : and $password … all that in upper case AND THEN … sha1

    And then the result that is saved in db is: 4BEA0019DDEB65D9CABDA4C218AADC1C33828267

    So, what can I do ?

    Where can I change/add this custom hash gen ?

    Thanks for all

    Hey @kzkggaara,

    This is very possible for the plugin. For users that have a custom hashing algorithm you can validate the password in your own way.

    If you look on the FAQ section on the main page there is a part about custom hooks.

    In there I document how to use a custom hash by using the exlog_hook_filter_authenticate_hash filter.

    In your case, adding the following block of code to your functions.php file should solve the problem for you…

    
function myExlogHashAuthenticator($password, $hashFromDatabase, $username, $externalUserData) {
    $generatedHash = sha1(strtoupper($username.":".$password));
    return $hashFromDatabase == $generatedHash;
}
add_filter('exlog_hook_filter_authenticate_hash', 'myExlogHashAuthenticator', 10, 4);

    I haven’t tested this, it is just pseudocode but it should give you the basis of what you need.

    Do come back and tell me how you got on ??
