~~Title: Password Algorithm~~

The [[jvx:server:security:dbsecman|DB Security Manager]] supports password encryption. The password algorithm can be defined in the [[jvx:common:setup:dbindependent_config|application configuration]]. \\ 
Simply add the **passwordalgorithm** setting to your existing configration:

<file xml>
<application>
  <securitymanager>
    ...    
    <passwordalgorithm>SHA</passwordalgorithm>
  </securitymanager>
  
  ...
</application>
</file>
The possible values are, e.g., SHA, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, MD5, MD4, MD2, and all supported Java message digest algorithms as described [[https://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/security/CryptoSpec.html#AppA|here]].

If you set the passwordalgorithm to **PLAIN**, the password will be in plain text.
