Skpr Automates Drupal Hash Salt Management for Enhanced Security and Developer Efficiency

Staff Reporter

PreviousNext's latest update to the Skpr platform automates the management of Drupal hash salts. In Drupal, the hash salt enhances security for various operations like one-time login links and form tokens. Previously, development teams used the Skpr Configuration System to set these hash salts per environment via a command line interface (CLI). Now, the platform automatically sets these values out-of-the-box for all environments, simplifying the process.

Key Benefits:

Ease of setup: Integrated directly into Skpr's configuration system.
Less developer management: Automatically handled by the platform.
Improved security: Hash salts are stored securely outside the document root.

To implement, developers can easily integrate hash salts into their Drupal applications by updating the settings.php file with $settings['hash_salt'] = $skpr->get('drupal.hash_salt');.

This update reflects Skpr's commitment to improving both security and developer productivity.
