Override laravel 4's authentication methods to use custom hasing function

Question

I have a table in my database with users. Their password are generated with my own custom hashing function.

How do i override the Authentication methods in laravel 4 to

Answer 1

This is how ended up solving the problem:

libraries\CustomHasherServiceProvider.php

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class CustomHasherServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {

    public function register()
    {
        $this->app->bind('hash', function()
        {
            return new CustomHasher;
        });
    }

}

libraries\CustomHasher.php

class CustomHasher implements Illuminate\Hashing\HasherInterface {

private $NUMBER_OF_ROUNDS = '$5$rounds=7331$';


public function make($value, array $options = array())
{

    $salt = uniqid();
    $hash = crypt($password, $this->NUMBER_OF_ROUNDS . $salt);
    return substr($hash, 15);
}

public function check($value, $hashedValue, array $options = array())
{
    return $this->NUMBER_OF_ROUNDS . $hashedValue === crypt($value, $this->NUMBER_OF_ROUNDS . $hashedValue);
}

}

And then I replaced 'Illuminate\Hashing\HashServiceProvider' with 'CustomHasherServiceProvider' in the providers array in app/config/app.php

and added "app/libraries" to autoload classmap in composer.json
