Hi,

Are you trying to modify Imagefolio to authenticate off Gossamer Forum or modify Gossamer Forum to authenticate off Image Folio?

I'm assuming the first. Basic steps would be:

1. Select from the database the user_password where Username = 'Foo'
2. Compare the input with the database with:

require GT::MD5::Crypt;
$password_good = ($db_encrypted eq GT::MD5::Crypt::gt_md5_crypt($form_cleartext, $db_encrypted));

3. If password_good is true, then it's the right password, if not, then it's wrong.

Hope that helps,

Alex
