Convert Atheme databases to Anope

_________________________________



This is an Anope module used to convert Atheme databases. Note at this time we

only support Athemes poxis or rawmd5 encryptions (or no encryption). If you

are using another encryption this will not work.



First, get a clean Anope installation, if you were using encryption on Atheme

this must be using no encryption (enc_none). Copy these modules to src/modules

and compile and install them. Place your atheme.db in your services data

directory (most likely ~/services). Start Anope and load the atheme2anope

module, this will convert the atheme.db database and then shut down services.



If you didn't use encryption with Atheme then you are done, you can start up

services and things should have been imported from the atheme.db



If you are using encryption you need to add the atheme2anope_identify module

to your ModuleAutoload directive. This module overrides Anopes identify

commands and when given a password, checks it against Athemes known encryption

methods. If the password is correct it will reencrypt the password using

Anopes own encryption. Once everyones password has been converted (The time it

takes for a nick to expire, by then everyone would have identified or expired

(of course, noexpire nicks are an exception)) then this module can be

unloaded.



It is important you use no encryption until at least atheme2anope_identify

is done converting passwords. Anope needs Athemes encryption to match the

passwords with, not an encrypted version of Athemes encrypted password.
