[Jack Eapen C]

Hi,

$wgPasswordSalt is set in defaultsettings.php. It's value is "true"

See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgPasswordSalt

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] sequence to add a new user in mediawiki

Hi,

We want to disable Signup for new users in mediawiki and want to add
them into database manually. for this we want to understand the sequence
of function used to store a new user into mediawiki database. we looked
this:- includes/GlobalFunctions.php

function wfEncryptPassword( $userid, $password ) {  global
$wgPasswordSalt;  $p = md5( $password);

 if($wgPasswordSalt)
  return md5( "{$userid}-{$p}" );
 else
  return $p;
}

But need to know that where $wgPasswordSalt set its value and finally
where this function called to get encryted password.

Can you suggest sequence of storing a new user in mediawiki as this will
be of great help.

Thank you
