Subject: [Webcalendar] webcal conversion
Message-ID: <60e40e2b146c924a75b033834516a1e1 a t orion.duhs.duke.edu>

Hi,

I am moving webcal from a PC running XP onto a linux box.  I believe 
that version 2.6 is running on the PC and I have installed version 
2.9.3 on my linux box.  Everything is okay except that when I copied my 
spool dir from the PC to my linux box, the linux box is not accepting 
my passwd when I try to log into webcal.  I changed the owner:group to 
apache on the passwd file.  I was able to create a new user, etc with 
no problems.

Do the users and passwd and log file reside in spool on linux?  Is this 
defined in any of the .pm or .pl scripts?

How do I convert my users and their calendars to my linux box?
Thanks.

Lucy,

I think no conversion should be required (but I am not sure as I never 
did such a migration).
Yes, the passwd and log files should be in the spool directory.
However, what may be the problem is that Linux uses case-sensitive names 
for files, and Windows doesn't.
So, when you type the username make sure that you type it in the same 
case as it appears in the passwd file and the spool directory.

When you can create users you may consider to create a user, make it the 
administrator (in the config file) and re-set the passwords for other users.
Of course do this only when no other solutions appear to work, or when 
there are only a few calendars....

Ok, I checked the Perl code and indeed the passwords are stored in 
plaintext when the OS is Windows.
Probably the crypt() routine is not available in Windows...
In Linux the passwords are always crypted.  There is some logic that 
chooses between an old and a new method of encryption, but no plaintext.

It would be possible to write a perl program by cutting some functions 
out of webcalAuth.pm that converts the passwd file.
Maybe Maorong already has done this, let's wait for any reply...

When there are only a few users, it seems easier to manually reset all 
their passwords while logged in as an administrator.
(using the plaintext passwd file as a guide)
The entries in the file should then appear crypted.

 There is no such utility that convert password files
 between win and unix installations. However, if you
 know a little perl, it is not difficult to write one.
 For example, the following short program will do.
 
 Maorong 

#==== cut and save as a.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
# usage:  a.pl < win_password_file > unix_password_file
while(<>){
    ($n,$p,$r)=split(/:/,$_,3);
    $q=$p?crypt($p,$n):"";
    print "$n:$q\n";
}
#===== cut
