External DB Auth.

Hi everyone, I'm new to Moodle & my problem may be due to not knowing Moodle.

 

I am attempting to authenticate users using an external mysql DB. My problem is the password. I have tried MD5 & SHA1 both using the DB & PHP to has the password. But I keep getting the "Invalid login try again" every time a new user attempts to login.

 

However, if I put the passwords in plain text, new users login perfectly & data is pulled across. So that leads me to believe that it has something to do w/ the hash. Is there some special way that I need to hash the passwords or is there a setting somewhere I'm overlooking?

 

I've been trying everything I can possibly think of to over come this but to no avail. So you great Moodle wizards are my last hope.

 

We are using Moodle 5.2.1+

Mysql: 5.1.73 for both DB's

 

Thanks for all your help.
