Hi Piotr, I think I have a similar problem as your co-worker. I am using a j_security_check with a custom LoginModule that tries to connect to an Oracle database with the username and password provided. The thing is, that I am not able to access the password in a plaintext, which I need if I want to try to connect to the database. Any suggestions? And if it has nothing to do with this thread, then I'm sorry :) thanks Filip View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4159012#...
