Changing Laravel 5.4 password encryption and table column names

Question

I am trying to integrate the auth in laravel 5.4 within an existing database where the user and password fields have other names (memberid, passwordnew_enc

Answer 1

I would make custom user provider php artisan make:provider CustomUserProvider:

getAuthPassword();

        if ($this->hasher->needsRehash($hashedValue) && $hashedValue === md5($plain)) {
            $user->passwordnew_enc = bcrypt($plain);
            $user->save();
        }

        return $this->hasher->check($plain, $user->getAuthPassword());
    }

}

This way if the password exists using md5 it will allow it to work once and then rehash it.

You will register the CustomUserProvider in App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider boot() as follows:

$this->app['auth']->provider('custom', function ($app, array $config) {
            $model = $app['config']['auth.providers.users.model'];
            return new CustomUserProvider($app['hash'], $model);
        });

Edit your config/auth.php

'providers' => [
        'users' => [
            'driver' => 'custom',
            'model' => App\User::class,
        ],
],

You will also need to add the following as mentioned previously...

app\Http\Controllers\Auth\LoginController.php

public function username()
{
    return 'memberid';
}

---

app\User.php

public function getAuthIdentifierName()
{
    return 'memberid';
}

public function getAuthIdentifier()
{
    return $this->memberid;
}

public function getAuthPassword()
{
    return $this->passwordnew_enc;
}
