UserLogin seeding and passwords

[Stephen Rufle-2]

How would I generate the hash values for currentPassword on the
UserLogin entity. I was trying to create a user login but set
currentPassword to a plaintext value. When I then tried login I get
"Password incorrect.", I think this is because I did not hash the password.

Is there an external utility that I could use to get the hashed value
for the password?

I personally just use OFBiz itself for this (preferably a local  
instance as it is more secure, but it can be done on the demo server  
too). Just create a new user, with the password you want, and then  
look in the database (can be done with the WebTools Entity Data  
Maintenance screens) to get the hashed value for the password.

That is exactly what I did :). I was thinking further ahead when we need
to migrate a bunch of users over to our system. My thoughts after
looking further into the code are that, we could use a list of userId's
with a mapping to the partyId they are and just call createUserLogin in
a loop of some sort.

Thanks for the feedback.
