Support for any database model for managing users and groups.
Storage of passwords as plain text or using any message
digest as supported by Java's
MessageDigest.getEncoding(String)
Note:
This means that the encoding property for MD5
encoding that was previously "MD5HEX" must now be "MD5".
Support for a seed in the encoding where the seed for a
specific user is retrieved from the database. When a seed is
used the password is encoded together with the user-specific
seed to prevent dictionary attacks. The way the seed is used
together with the password is configured using a format string.
Next Release
No future release is planned yet. Please send feedback on
