I don't think so. If certificates etc are used, they can be separate
fields in the DB table.
As guidance, let us look at ldap servers. LDAP SDK/JNDI API allow bind
and update of userPassword (standard ldap schema attribute). Security of
the passwords is done by the ldap servers. The API is ignorant of the
mechanisms used.
In the case of DB servers, the IDM will have to do all the plumbing to
secure the passwords and cannot rely on DB security. Given this, I think
we should let developers just deal with password and the underlying
plugged mechanisms of IDM can handle salting/hashing, bcrypt, encryption
etc.
Most of the developers will probably use the default
encoding/masking/salting password mechanism IDM will ship with. Advanced
developers should be able to plug in their favorite schemes if they desire.

good idea to remove hashed passwords as an option and instead offer things more secure
such as bcrypt or scrypt. One of those at least, imo, should be default. Hashed passwords,
even with a salt are really not that secure and I'm not talking about rainbow table
attacks, just plain brute force attacks with small box lots of GPU power and some coda
code are quickly become the norm for brute forcing passwords.

at the class level is good. It clearly tells the user/developer what type of password is
being stored. But if he chooses PTP, should we do the default salting/hashing in the

Re: [security-dev] SHA salted passwords Hi Pedro, maybe the class name led me to some
confusion and I missed the real concept here. So, the PlainTextPassword can be used to
store encoded password which algorithm will be used behind!
