Re: [security-dev] SHA salted passwords
Actually, passwords are not stored in plain text by default. The PlainTextPassword is used
to store both encoded and plain text passwords.
Maybe we can change the API to better indicate whether you want to use encoded passwords
or not. Something like this:
Encoded : this.identityManager.updateCredential(user, new
EncodedPassword(request.getPassword()));
Plain Text: this.identityManager.updateCredential(user, new
PlainTextPassword(request.getPassword()));
Where for the EncodedPassword type you can specify the different configurations for the
encoding such as supported algorithms, salt, etc.

Subject: [security-dev] SHA salted passwords
Good morning everyone.
I'm planning to upgrade AeroGear to PicketLink, looking at the examples looks like the
passwords will be stored in plain text
(https://github.com/picketlink/TODO/blob/master/server/src/main/java/org/a...).
I was just wondering if ShaSaltedPasswordHash
(https://github.com/picketlink/picketlink/blob/master/idm/impl/src/main/ja...)
could replace PlainTextPassword in this example, because I don't want to provide
examples to our users with passwords stored in plain text.
Is it possible?
