SMF Password encryption

[Koji-Kabuto]

I am trying to mod SMF to integrate it with an already existing user database I got in a website, but I stumbled upon one little problem... password encryption, I was just using standard-DES crypt php, and I eventually realized that it'd be easier and quicker to change the encryption of my site to match SMF's, so... can anybody explain exactly what encryption SMF uses, how to apply it, and how to check encrypted stuff?

I would appreciate it very much, thanks.

1.0.x uses salted MD5, and 1.1 uses SHA-1 (I think). There is a smf-api that can be used to help with integrations. Have a search around for it
