Is it possible to get the user account information in some readable form that could be used in mysql databases and different services? The site is run on a windows system running IIS, but services like photo sharing, etc, are based on a linux system. It'd be a load off if the accounts could be put in some form readable by the linux system.

| User account info is kept in a database. I guess you can access that database from whatever system you like, Windows or Unix, as long as the software that you use for that can read from the DB. I guess using a MySQL database can ease that, since you can access it from Linux. Regarding the specific details of how to access a MySQL DB running in a Windows system from a Linux system, I'm afraid I cannot be of much help. I would guess, however, that it would depend on the choice of language / environment you chose to do that. |

| The only thing that would be unusable would be the password since it's encrypted with Sha-256 and from what I understand, sha-256 is unusable in PHP. |
