re: Encrypt Password saing error in Postgres??

@rohit.28f:

1) This module, which is for encryption/decryption (not one-way hashing) is not needed, as it turns out. (Please see CSecurityManager, which contains similar encryption functionality).

2) One should only use a one-way hash for password storage, and not this type of extension. (Please see http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/phpass).

Can i change key dynamically?

Can i change key dynamically ? I want to change the key every time the user login, so the generated encrypted string is vary every time user login.

config

The configuration can be simplified. Remove imports in general, and in the component, which specifies the class to write so:

'components'=>array(
    //...
    'encrypter'=>array (
        'class'=>'ext.encrypter.Encrypter',
        'key'=>'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
    ),
),
