I need to see if there is a stored procedure or code I can write to reset a large number of passwords at one time.

I have an old portal that stores the username and passwords(unencrypted).  I used a script to migrate all these users to a DEV Dotnetnuke site by having it copy a 'MigrationUser' account with the Password and PasswordSalt.  So, now all my users have the same password.  Great for testing, but not so good to ask 1200+ users (spread out across the state) to all reset their passwords at once during go-live.

Since I have a list of all their passwords, is there a script or program I can write to change the password of each user on the DEV site to their existing password?  I just need some code that can change a user's password. I've tried some aspnet_Membership stored procedures, but they do not encrypt the password.  It just writes the password to the aspnet_membership table in cleartext.

 

Thanks

password in DNN is managed by MS membership component, I would use a .Net script to update password instead of trying to set it in SQL directly. There are modules for mass updates in the store like PHDobson BulkUserManager, which might be used for this purpose as well.

I agree with Sebastian e.g. code such as http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Wiki/Page/Create-a-New-User-and-Add-to-Specific-Role-Programatically.aspx could be adapted easily to read in username/passwords from a database/file and build up the list of required users with their correct passwords (and by using the API methods DotNetNuke ensures all other relevant data is updated and database referential integrity is preserved)

Thanks! This got me on the right path and led me to something like this:

MembershipUser mu = Membership.GetUser(user);
mu.UnlockUser();
string oldPass = mu.GetPassword();

if (Newpw.Length > 0)
success = mu.ChangePassword(oldPass, Newpw);
else
{
resetPW = mu.ResetPassword();
success = true;
}
