Password generator for reseller when add user - itanium - 01-06-2009 07:53 AM

A small enhancement for reseller that generate an random password when you add a user.

Simply copy / paste the generate password in the password and password repeat case. The password is not added automatically

Code:

1). Create a passgen.php in /var/www/ispcp/gui/themes/omega_original/css

Code:

<?php

function createPassword($length) {

    $chars = "234567890abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";

    $i = 0;

    $password_gen = "";

    while ($i <= $length) {

        $password_gen .= $chars{mt_rand(0,strlen($chars))};

        $i++;

    }

    return $password_gen;

}

$password_gen = createPassword(8);

?>

<table style="text-align: left; width=200px;" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">

  <tbody>

    <tr>

      <td style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 204);">

<?=$password_gen?><br />

    </tr>

  </tbody>

</table>

<form action="passgen.php" method="get">

<input type="submit" value="Go" />

</form>

2). In /var/www/ispcp/gui/themes/omega_original/reseller edit user_add3.tpl and after:

Code:

<tr>

<td width="25">&nbsp;</td>

<td class="content2" width="200">{TR_USERNAME}</td>

<td class="content">{VL_USERNAME}</td>

</tr>

add this:

Code:

<tr>

<td width="25">&nbsp;</td>

<td class="content2" width="200">{TR_PASSWORD_GENERATOR}</td>

<td class="content">

<object type="text/html" data="{THEME_COLOR_PATH}/css/passgen.php"" width="100%" height="80px">

</object>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

3.) In /var/www/ispcp/gui/reseller edit user_add3.php and after:

Code:

'TR_CORE_DATA' => tr('Core data'),

add this

Code:

'TR_PASSWORD_GENERATOR' => tr('Generate password'),

4.) Edit you language file (french exemple) and add:

Code:

Generate password = Générer Mot de passe

Enjoy

.

Ps: I'm not able to provided this file because i have hacked some part of this.
I will integrate this script in several place like ftp account creation, mysql mail ..

I did not got the point. We have already pw-generators, what's the difference?

RE: Password generator for reseller when add user - itanium - 01-08-2009 02:06 AM

Because the password is not visible and we can not choose the size of passwords. Here you can edit createPassword (8); by the number needed to configure the size of passwords and know the password.

Ps: To create a passwords for mysql, ftp,mail is also more practical

RE: Password generator for reseller when add user - RatS - 01-08-2009 02:21 AM

In my mind it is okay, that the reseller does not know the user password (even if it is auto generated). The last point sounds plausible, I will think about it, if it makes sense.

RE: Password generator for reseller when add user - itanium - 01-08-2009 02:27 AM

I agree with you on 1 point and that is why the password is not automatically added. It's just an option Wink

I proged another quicker method.
Function: On Click on Button "PWD-Gen", the password is generated and inserted in both password-fields; after that, it is allerted with JS for human-reading.
Just copy&paste the followind JS-Function to your file "/var/www/ispcp/gui/themes/omega_original/css/ispcp.js"

Code:

function pwd_gen(f){

        chars = "234567890abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";

        sp = '';

        for (i=0; i < 10; i++) {

                sp = sp + chars.charAt(Math.random()*chars.length);

        }

        if(document.getElementsByName(f)[0])document.getElementsByName(f)[0].value = sp;

        if(document.getElementsByName(f+'_repeat')[0])document.getElementsByName(f+'_repeat')[0].value = sp;

        if(document.getElementsByName(f+'_rep')[0])document.getElementsByName(f+'_rep')[0].value = sp;

        alert("Neues Zufallspasswort: \""+sp+"\"");

}

Everywhere you want the "PWD-Gen" button just copy&paste the following HTML-Tag:

Code:

<input type="button" value="PW-Gen" onclick="pwd_gen('pass');">

Example:
Original-Code from "/var/www/ispcp/gui/themes/omega_original/client/mail_add.tpl":

Code:

<tr>

                <td nowrap="nowrap" class="content2" width="200">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{TR_PASSWORD}</td>

                <td nowrap="nowrap" class="content"><input type="password" name="pass" value="" style="width:210px" class="textinput"></td>

              </tr>

Changed-Code:
Added <input type="button" value="PW-Gen" onclick="pwd_gen('pass');">

Code:

<tr>

                <td nowrap="nowrap" class="content2" width="200">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{TR_PASSWORD}</td>

                <td nowrap="nowrap" class="content"><input type="password" name="pass" value="" style="width:210px" class="textinput"><input type="button" value="PW-Gen" onclick="pwd_gen('pass');"></td>

              </tr>

Thank you, great job!

A Password Generator is also needed for creating a DB-User in my eyes.
I always use a local installed tool for it Rolleyes
