Hi there,
I have a site with about 10K users. I want to encrypt the users' passwords but using the "Encrypt extranet" functionality in the Management Center (under Control panel | Modules | User Management) seems to crash before it completes. It also takes a long time to complete. A few questions / observations:
1. I think I can safely restart this as it looks at the password length and doesn't double-encrypt currently encrypted passwords, right?
2. The code seems to do an N+1 (or actually 2N+1 at least. as it does a select and an uodate for every user) Would there be a different way to do this in batches instead?
3. When I click the Encrypt button the page hangs for a while (while encrypting passwords). Once it stops, clicking it again gives me an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." exception. Clicking the button a third time then works OK and it continues encrypting passwords.
4. Any risks associated with clicking that button multiple times until all of them are encrypted? Or should we wait for a fix for this?
Thanks!
Imar
