Pulling Passwords For Use Elsewhere

Sorry guys, just realized this ended up in the wrong place!!! Please move it!

I may have missed this answer somewhere, but I’ve done a lot of searching with no true fine results.

I have an install of 4.3.1 on my site, and have just added IPB 4.1.2. I want IPB to be able to read the user database that WP uses for users, and have done this by configuring the External Database Login handler. However, there seems to be a problem…

IPB only recognizes the native MD5 hash. However, it seems that WP salts the passwords, so there’s some additional hashing there. Does anyone have any ideas where I can find the function where those passwords are salted, or a way to uniformly salt them? I think if I could do this, I might be able to rewrite how IPB sees the MD5 hash so that it reflects WP’s actual scheme.

As of right now, IPS simply sees the password as:

return md5 ( $password );

I tried to run an include for the pluggables file and then to do:

return wp_salt(md5($password));

But that didn’t seem to do the trick. Other ideas?

Thanks
