I'm trying to integrate vBulliten and Django's user databases. I know vB uses a md5 algorithm to hash it's passwords, with a salt. I have the salt data and the password for each vB user, and would like to know how to import those accounts onto Django.
I've tried the obvious, changing the Django user's password to;
md5$vb's_salt$vb's_password
This just throws back Django's log-in form, with a message saying "username and password does not match"
Any ideas?
