How can I change the password for a user in kohana, using the file driver?
For the Auth file driver the passwords are stored in the Auth config file - modules/auth/config/auth.php
, so if you want to change user password you have to edit
that file. By default the content looks like this:
return array(
'driver' => 'file',
'hash_method' => 'sha256',
'hash_key' => NULL,
'lifetime' => 1209600,
'session_type' => Session::$default,
'session_key' => 'auth_user',
// Username/password combinations for the Auth File driver
'users' => array(
// 'admin' => 'b3154acf3a344170077d11bdb5fff31532f679a1919e716a02',
),
);
Note that passwords are encrypted with Auth::hash
method - you have to use it first to get the hash value for your new password.
I you are thinking of letting your users change their password through the website - there is no good way to do it and I'd suggest to switch to ORM driver instead.
