Problem enabling salt. - thek - 2015-04-13
Hello.
I'm trying to enable salt to my login and cookies according to the guide here: http://get-simple.info/wiki/how_to:change_admin_password_salted
The problem I have is that I get no change in changing the password after I've enabled the two define lines. The web site simply logs out and demands that I need to login again but since I've got salted passwords now I have no success.
Am I missing something or what do I do wrong?
Thanks in advance, K

are you logged in when you change or enable the salt ?

I've tried both being logged in and logged out. When I'm login and try to navigate on the admin site I just gets dumped to the login page.

Ok. I solved it. I don't know if I'm reading instructions poorly or something.
It worked when I didn't try to enable both login and cookie salt at the same time. If I first enabled login, changed password to get the salted password and then enabling the cookie salt it worked.
Thanks for the help.

interesting, good to note, makes sense I think , if your cookie salt changes, your session breaks, so you cannot save profile.
Ill see if I can add some protection for that, and fix docs.
