-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: AS7-1838
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1838
Project: Application Server 7
Issue Type: Task
Components: Domain Management, Security
Reporter: Darran Lofthouse
Assignee: Darran Lofthouse
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 7.1.0.Beta1
Storing plain text passwords means that should the file containing these passwords be
compromised not only could the passwords be used to access the AS instance they were using
the passwords could potentially be used for any systems secured with the same passwords.
The pre-digested passwords will be digested with the username, password and realm - this
will mean that although they still need to be kept secure to prevent access to the AS
instance they secure they will not be useful for gaining access to different systems
secured with different realms.
(As backwards compatibility is to be retained AS 7.0.2 will have this feature switched
off by default leaving the end user to choose to switch it on - for AS 7.1.0 this will be
reversed making it the default for out of the box)
