[Koha-devel] User password reset question

[Graham, Stephen]

Thanks Josef – I couldn’t see the Koha::Patron module listed at: https://perldoc.koha-community.org/16.11.x/ . But It is there on our Koha server. Looking at the perldoc for that module I can see the update_password method. Will give it a go!

Cheers, Stephen

Hi Stephen, you can use

Koha::AuthUtils::hash_password to encode password and then Koha::Patron->update_password($userid, $newPassword)

you can see it in members/member-password.pl<http://member-password.pl> script on lines 73 and 76 in 16.11 code
Hope that helps

Josef

Hi All – if I wanted to programmatically change a user’s password what would the best way of doing this? I’ve just been looking at the various Perl modules for our version of Koha (16.11). modules such as C4:Members, C4:Member:Attributes  etc, but cannot see any methods that can reset the password. Looking at the opac-passwd.pl<http://opac-passwd.pl> CGI script which is called when changing a user password, I see that it uses a SQL update to change the password. Is this the best route to go if I wanted to change a password?

Cheers, Stephen
