Hi all.
How can i get user passwords from the database.
I tried to decode field userpw in table usersecurity with standard SLX library, but the result was disappointing.
Can u advice me some?

There is nothing that SLX provides to read/decrypt user passwords. What exactly are you trying to accomplish with this? (why the need to read the user's passwords?) Maybe we can help think of an alternate approach?

SalesLogix keeps that information "confidential" as part of their security. You probably noticed that even if you give all of the users the sam password it's encrypted so they are different.. it is "seeded".

If you are trying to use a "single-sign-on" type of approach, SalesLogix supports "mapping" to Windows users and then the user does not need to know their password.

Hi, Ryan
All i need is to have a report which users didn't change password from standard to personal.
I have no other ideas of getting it instead of decrypting userpw.
P.S. We do not syncronise with Active Directory in case of security policies. You see, our users do not always lock their workstations, and own data in CRM is very restricted by users (one from another). We cannot use pass-through authorisation.

You could get a list in Administrator:

1. Tools > Options...

2. Select the Passwords tab.

3. Select the "Do not allow blank passwords" and "Force user to change the default password" then click the "Show users with invalid passwords button". This shows a list of the blank and default passwords.

4. Then deselect the "Do not allow blank passwords" checkbox and click the "Show users with invalid passwords button" again. The list shown should now be the users with the unchanged default password.

I have no idea why you have to select the "Do not allow blank passwords" first but after that the filters seem to work ok.

Cheers,

Steve
