In which Encryption form does Galaxy store password?
Hi, In which encryption galaxy store the password? It's really urgent. I want to decode the password and use in the other program. Thanks
Its hashed (sha1) and you can not reverse the hash. Storing passwords in a reversible manner is bad practice. http://galaxy-central.readthedocs.org/en/latest/_modules/galaxy/util/hash_ut... You could maybe authenticate your users from the other program with the same method against the hashed passwords. best, ido On Jan 7, 2013, at 12:43 PM, Sachit Adhikari wrote:

This is how we allow ProFTPd to authenticate users against Galaxy's user database: http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Upload%20via%20FTP --nate
