I have just submitted the following proposal to add a couple of small enhancements to the JDBC SecurityRealm: - https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-proposals/pull/193 The proposal is predominantly to complete some paperwork for development that has already taken place. This brings two main changes: - 1 - Where we load hashes and digests from a database we presently only support base64 encoding, this enhancement adds support for hex encoding. 2 - Adding support for storing passwords using modular crypt, this supports a variety of password types and allows hashes, salts, and iteration counts to be combined into a single field. Regards, Darran Lofthouse.
