[Opensim-users] Creating Users with PHP

Hi All,

Well, I have started to build a small website to manage my Users on  
OpenSim, using Apache/PHP/MySQL ...

But I have a little problem understanding how the user password is  
encoded in MySQL database ...

If I refer to the share/php/generateUserFunction.php provided file,  
the formula is :

$user['passwordSalt'] = md5(microtime() . mt_rand(0,0xffff));
$user['passwordHash'] = md5(md5($password) . ":" .  
$user['passwordSalt']);

But the resulted password doesn't work for me :S

When I create the "Test User" user using the Console command : create  
user, the generated password is something like :  
84e78b596fa8e391c49f3c4df7b9c57f

So, could somebody explain the method to generate user passwords  
"outside" the console ?

Now we also have the webLoginKey introduced ... What is the methode to  
generate it ?

Many thanks in advance,

Regards,

Ursula.
