Member	positivepurchasing - 10/23/2013 9:08:55 AM Registration & Logon web parts Hi, In the RegistrationForm web part the email address is used as the username. Logging in using the LogonForm web part how is the user supposed to know that their username is their email address, especially if they change their email address? This seems to make no sense or have I missed something? Cheers Paul.

RE:Registration & Logon web parts

What I do is create an alternative form for registration and add the fields you want to it. This way the user can enter their own username, email, etc and not automatically be assigned one. If they change their email address, its not a problem. Their username is still their old email address while their email address is updated to their new one. I have a few logins like this on the Kentico site and it works, but not ideal.

RE:Registration & Logon web parts

Hi FroggEye.

Just struggling as usual.

http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/7_0rc/devguide/index.html?password_format.htm.

I was trying to find out Kentico's password hash procedure, so I can test the result against the value in the db as normal. But I can't find enough info. I don't know whether the password is just prepended to the salt and then hashed or is the password and salt hashed separately and then concatenated or some other way.

Perhaps I should set Kentico not to use a salt, making the procedure simpler, hopefully.

Cheers
Paul


Member	positivepurchasing - 10/24/2013 10:27:25 AM RE:Registration & Logon web parts Hi. What about a different approach. I add a UserName field to the registration form, and use that as the username. Does that make sense? Cheers Paul.


Member	positivepurchasing - 10/24/2013 10:45:11 AM RE:Registration & Logon web parts OK, seems to work fine.
