Password Algorithm

This is an old revision of the document!


The DB Security Manager supports password encryption. The password algorithm can be defined in the application configuration.
Simply add the passwordalgorithm setting to your existing configration:

<application>
  <securitymanager>
    ...    
    <passwordalgorithm>SHA</passwordalgorithm>
  </securitymanager>
 
  ...
</application>

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 here.

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