Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone knows of a module that would allow you to import users from one Drupal site to another with the passwords.
The user import module allows you to import passwords, but that doesn't help much given they are encrypted.
I suppose I can always use the import module and then write a script to move the encrypted pwd from the old site to the new one, but wondering if there's something that exists that does that.
Thanks, Sam

Why not just use mysqldump? The data should transfer for the password. After all the hash is just characters. If you really need a module, there is http://drupal.org/project/importexportapi.

It's taking users from a D5 to a D6 site and while a mysql dump would populate the user table -- I assume you mean just the user table -- if there are any other modules hooked into user_save they would be skipped with that approach. I suppose I can test to see if anythings hooked into user_save first. Do you know if in Drupal 6 a user_save affects any tables besides user -- not taking contributed modules into account?
Also, that module you pointed out hasn't been ported to 6 yet.
Best, Sam
Why not dump to a clean 5, upgrade that to 6, redump and import elsewhere?

I moved a site from one hosting company with MySql 3 to another hosting company with the latest MySql 5 and from PHP4 to PHP5 and from Drupal 4.7.3 to Drupal 6.10 without loosing users or data. I mysqldumped the data and used mysql on the other host to import the data. I set up the latest Drupal 4.7 and did an upgrade, without modules. I setup Drupal 5.0 and did an upgrade without modules. I setup the latest Drupal 5 version and did an upgrade without modules. I setup the latest Drupal 6 version and did an upgrade without modules. I installed the Drupal 6 modules and did an upgrade.
Also, that module you pointed out hasn't been ported to 6 yet.
There is a patch in the issue queue I need to get back to. It is reported not to work, though.
