Hi have to perform a login via web service sending username and password.
The problem is that the server wants a strange MD5 format of password and I can't generate it.
Example
NSString password = @".";
NSString md5 = @"5058f1af8388633f609cadb75a75dc9d";
Server MD5 is "PXñ¯ƒˆc?`œ·ZuÜ".
I need to transform 5058f1af8388633f609cadb75a75dc9d in "PXñ¯ƒˆc?`œ·ZuÜ", but I have no ideas.
Edit
I've discovered that the result is an hash of 5058f1af8388633f609cadb75a75dc9d string.This is the .NET
code on server:
byte[] passwordBytesEnc = UTF8Encoding.Default.GetBytes(".");
byte[] passwordBytesHash = MD5.Create().ComputeHash(passwordBytesEnc);
string passwordCriptata = UTF8Encoding.Default.GetString(passwordBytesHash);
try this..
- (NSString *)MD5String:(NSString *)string{
const char *cstr = [string UTF8String];
NSLog(@"%s",cstr);
unsigned char result[16];
CC_MD5(cstr, strlen(cstr), result);
NSLog(@"%s",result);
return [NSString stringWithFormat:
@"%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X",
result[0], result[1], result[2], result[3],
result[4], result[5], result[6], result[7],
result[8], result[9], result[10], result[11],
result[12], result[13], result[14], result[15]
];
}
and call like this
NSString *md5 = @"5058f1af8388633f609cadb75a75dc9d";
[self MD5String:md5];
Well, what your Server expects is the String-representation of the MD5-Hex value (for whatever reason...).
You can convert your Hex-Value to a String like so:
NSString *string = @"5058f1af8388633f609cadb75a75dc9d";
NSMutableString * newString = [[NSMutableString alloc] init]; //will contain your result-string
int i = 0;
while (i < [string length])
{
NSString * hexChar = [string substringWithRange: NSMakeRange(i, 2)];
int value = 0;
sscanf([hexChar cStringUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding], "%x", &value);
[newString appendFormat:@"%c", (char)value];
i+=2;
}
