I'm porting over a legacy app into Laravel. The old app used MD5 to hash the passwords without a salt, so I need to replicate that within Laravel. For the record, we are changing the passwords to bcrypt with a salt, but it's not a simple process and requires a user login to do so - for the meantime I just need to get logins working with the legacy hashes.
I have followed this guide to convert Auth::hash to MD5: How to use SHA1 encryption instead of BCrypt in Laravel 4?
When I print out the password in plain text and the generated hash in my make method when registering an account:
public function make($value, array $options = array()) {
echo $value.'<br>'.hash('md5', $value);
exit;
return hash('md5', $value);
}
I get the following:
123456
e10adc3949ba59abbe56e057f20f883e
Great, that's what I need. However, when that is saved to the database I get a different hash entirely. My guess is that Laravel is salting the password elsewhere, but I can't find where and how to override this.
My MD5Hasher.php file inside app/libraries:
<?php
class MD5Hasher implements Illuminate\Contracts\Hashing\Hasher {
/**
* Hash the given value.
*
* @param string $value
* @return array $options
* @return string
*/
public function make($value, array $options = array()) {
return hash('md5', $value);
}
/**
* Check the given plain value against a hash.
*
* @param string $value
* @param string $hashedValue
* @param array $options
* @return bool
*/
public function check($value, $hashedValue, array $options = array()) {
return $this->make($value) === $hashedValue;
}
/**
* Check if the given hash has been hashed using the given options.
*
* @param string $hashedValue
* @param array $options
* @return bool
*/
public function needsRehash($hashedValue, array $options = array()) {
return false;
}
}
My MD5HashServiceProvider.php:
<?php
class MD5HashServiceProvider extends Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider {
/**
* Register the service provider.
*
* @return void
*/
public function register() {
$this->app['hash'] = $this->app->share(function () {
return new MD5Hasher();
});
}
/**
* Get the services provided by the provider.
*
* @return array
*/
public function provides() {
return array('hash');
}
}
My AuthController.php looks like the following:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use Hash;
use App\User;
use Validator;
use Mail;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\ThrottlesLogins;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesAndRegistersUsers;
class AuthController extends Controller
{
/*

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This controller handles the registration of new users, as well as the
| authentication of existing users. By default, this controller uses
| a simple trait to add these behaviors. Why don't you explore it?
|
*/
use AuthenticatesAndRegistersUsers, ThrottlesLogins;
//protected $redirectTo = '/account';
/**
* Create a new authentication controller instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest', ['except' => 'getLogout']);
}
/**
* Get a validator for an incoming registration request.
*
* @param array $data
* @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator
*/
protected function validator(array $data)
{
return Validator::make($data, [
'name' => 'required|max:255',
'email' => 'required|email|max:255|unique:users',
'password' => 'required|confirmed|min:6',
]);
}
/**
* Create a new user instance after a valid registration.
*
* @param array $data
* @return User
*/
protected function create(array $data)
{
$this->redirectTo = '/register/step-1';
$user = User::create([
'name' => $data['name'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),
]);
// email the user
Mail::send('emails.register', ['user' => $user], function($message) use ($user)
{
$message->to($user->email, $user->name)->subject('Edexus - Welcome');
});
// email the admin
Mail::send('emails.register-admin', ['user' => $user], function($message) use ($user)
{
$message->to('admins@***.com', 'Edexus')->subject('Edexus - New user sign up');
});
return $user;
}
}
