How are passwords stored in Catalyst?

juanmas07 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi! I'm trying to migrate a user database from catalyst to django and I'm wondering how passwords are salted. I have the source code and the user data, tried to search for a salt but could not find it. Any ideas on how to proceed? Thank you!

They are not (usually) directly. Catalyst is pretty agnostic about its pieces. They are (probably) stored in a layer that is plugged into Catalyst and there are many ways it can be done; some encrypted, some not, some from plugins, some from scratch or even inlined or with an arbitrary authentication, some from external authentication like LDAP or OAuth. A common/standard way is to use DBIx::Class with session authentication; Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial::Authentication. I think you’ll need to understand both sides of the pipe you’re working on pretty thoroughly to succeed on a migration like this.	[reply]

Maybe `check_password` in here is what you're looking for: Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::Password The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.	[reply] [d/l]
