password plugin doesn't work in php 5.3 or later if password driver is set to ldap or ldap_simple

[rcubetrac]

Reported by leeyc0 on 18 Sep 2014 06:41 UTC as Trac ticket #1490076

In php 5.3, mhash() (http:_php.net/manual/en/book.mhash.php) is deprecated and replaced by hash() (http:_php.net/manual/en/book.hash.php). However there are extensive uses of mhash in drivers/ldap.php, and need to replaced with hash(). There is a exception though, there is no replacement for mhash_keygen_s2k(), but seems that there is a simple php-only implementation as I found at http://php.net/manual/en/function.mhash-keygen-s2k.php.

Please update the ldap driver to support php 5.3 or later.

Documentation says it's emulated by hash extension. Does that mean mhash* functions does not work or throw warnings?

It says "Could not save new password. Encryption function missing". And it's because function_exists('mhash_keygen_s2k') and/or function_exists('mhash') failed.

But do you have 'hash' extension installed? I have PHP 5.5 and have both hash and mhash working. Documentation says (http://php.net/manual/en/mhash.installation.php) mhash functions are emulated by hash extension I have no reasons to not believe that.

Yes, I did install hash extension. But mhash_keygen_s2k is not covered by hash extension.

Still I have mhash extension in my PHP 5.5. Anyway, I fixed it in 5c3bbb9e0d.
