Re: [security-dev] SHA salted passwords

Yeah, the class name is not good and leads to confusion. Today you do not need any extra code to get encoded passwords. The code you pointed out is already doing that: https://github.com/picketlink/TODO/blob/master/server/src/main/java/org/a... Behind the scenes it is using SHA-512 and a SecureRandom-1024 salt. Unfortunately, you can not change such configuration for now. Regards.

So, the PlainTextPassword can be used to store encoded password which algorithm will be used behind the scenes? Which extra code is necessary to have encoded passwords on PicketLink? Could you please provide some example? +1 on EncodedPassword class. -- "The measure of a man is what he does with power" - Plato - @abstractj - Volenti Nihil Difficile On Monday, January 7, 2013 at 10:20 AM, Pedro Igor Silva wrote: > >Actually, passwords are not stored in plain text by default.
