similar to: Decrypt a admin password (with salt)

Hi, I have user add/edit forms.While creating a user I tried the following method to encrypt password and stored the encrypted password in the table. def self.sha1(pass) Digest::SHA1.hexdigest("#{salt}--#{pass}--") end But when I try to edit the page I get the encrypted password in the password field instead of the decrypted password. Is there any method to decrypt

I''d like to hear from some one who has been using Sentry successfully. I am trying to symmetrically_encrypts :password for a user model. It is a bare bones model just to test Sentry. I have password defined as ''text'' in the users table. I have openssl library installed on Debian Sarge. The secret key is defined in environment.rb. But when I submit the form I get

I am looking at adding the Sentry plugin to one of the applications that we are working on. I have a need to store some info that will have to be encrypted and decrypted. I have been going through the docs for the plugin and the AsymetricSentry class looks like the best for what we need to do but I am not sure how to generate the key. The docs say: This is a shortcut for using an

I am still trying to get sentry working to encrypt a couple of attributes in the model. One of them is a password field and the other ssn#. I have crypted_password and crypted_ssn in the db. In addition, I also have validates_uniqueness_of :ssn Here is the problem... I get the error MysqlError: Unknown column ''ssn'' in ''where clause'': SELECT * FROM students

Hi, I wanted an opinion on the most xen-compatible linux distro. Im embarking on a 4 month project with xen which involves the following objectives: 1.>Creating a tool with GUI that allows a)starting,stopping restarting domUs b)maintaining a status log of domUs c)migration of dom Us d)

Hi, I am following the excellent tutorial http://www.railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=14216 (post 5) on how to implement an access control feature i.e. only a friend is allowed to view a profile of a particular member. I am not using the restful authentication plugin as the author is using to implement the authentication feature (post 1) in the tutorial. All I am interested in is the post 5

I am pondering the possibility of encrypting/decrypting some fields in a SQLite backend on-the-fly. The point of the message is not security, I know that''s broken, but whether there''s a technique that provides on-the-fly save/read filters. Of course the solution would need to work transparently in joins, so user.posts.last.title would do the right thing if title

Hello everyone, I''m studying XEN these days, and totally a newbie for XEN world. Recently, I''m assigned to move our OS to run on XEN, I means, paravitualization. I know a bit about XEN technique, and I tried to look into Linux code, but it seems too many threads to get understood it ... Now, I have no idea how to proceed my project... Can anyone give some advice? Any suggestion

Hi, after reading the docs (no man page) and seeing a few example howtos, I see none for Centos specifically. I hereby offer to write this and even host it, and any other wiki-able howto you want, if you can school me on the first few steps relevant to how to link up the current rpmforge rpm for RHEL4-64. See, right now, the one for centos loads into the /usr/share/doc, which is an odd place

hi, I cant ssh into my domU from the Dom0 even if i type the correct password. The ip of my domU is 192.168.2.100, and from my dom0 i type: #ssh root@192.168.2.100 The authenticity of host ''192.168.2.100 (192.168.2.100)'' can''t be established. RSA key fingerprint is 25:91:2c:63:6d:fc:ba:28:b8:54:2c:14:b1:c5:e5:cf. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

I recently ran a migration to add the following to an existing user model: t.string "crypted_password" t.string "password_salt" t.string "persistence_token" There is an existing (cleartext) password field, but authlogic doesn''t seem to be reading that on existing accounts. As a result, all logins for existing accounts fail. How can I get

Hi Railers, I''m looking for something to do asynchronous encryption - where the encryption and decryption keys are different. This is for a scenario where I want to be able to store some information in the database that can only be decrypted in a different physical location using a secret private key (which will not be stored on the machine doing the encrypting). I''m trying

The code that comes with the plugin uses a method that looks like this: def password_required? crypted_password.blank? or not password.blank? end with validations that look like this: validates_presence_of :password, :if => :password_required? validates_presence_of :password_confirmation, :if => :password_required? validates_length_of

I've successfully implemented the mail_crypt plugin on v2.2.27 and it's working like a champ, but some of our administrative operations require access to Maildir messages in plaintext. I've found numerous threads detailing help with mail_crypt setup, but none of my research has yielded a method of decrypting the stored messages. Relevant plugin config: mail_crypt_curve =

Greg, Looks like Jeff Cohen already fixed this in CVS. Please update and give it another shot. Thanks, Reid.

I am taking over a code base and am trying to run the tests. I am somewhat new to RSpec so this might be a trivial problem. Basically I can tell that the fixtures are not getting loaded. All 100 tests fail with a similar error. But I don''t know why. Below is the code, with my narrative with *** before it... Can you see anything or give me a clue where to look. So far I am coming up
