Where is the blowfish password encryption key?

Openfire Openfire Support

I am trying to create an account creation using the registration plugin it works fine, but i need one with some additional insertions to the “ofUsers” table of “Openfire” database.

I need to encrypt the password, and found that the application uses blowfish algorithm to generate encrypted passord.

can anybody please tell me where can I find the key for the blowfish encryption?

It wuld be greateful fo you guys…, I have been in this for long.

Thanks in advance

Ok, Thanks to all for there suggestions.

I came arround with a different solution.

A plugin named “user service” is present with the openfire so I can add/edit/delete user bu submitting through CURL or by fopen.

A class file from the phpclasses.org helped to make life simple this is a wrapper around the open fire to achive the functionality:

Once again thanks to all.
