+1 for Raphael as well We also believe the system login should support multifactor authentication (e.g. OTP One time passwords) see the C2C work done with the YubiKey in v5. Especially since database login information is readily available in config files by default - although this file is typically hardened prior to deployment.
It should be under the philosophy of TNO (Trust No One). E.g. the YUBIHSM hardware key or OTP. In a related topic as well - all bank accounts except the last 4 digits of an account should also be encrypted and masked too - alas but that is another topic. Maybe a nice section in the doc on "recommendations to "secure" your environment" might be appreciated by the general OpenERP public.

Then I installed base_crypt (with the intention of all other passwords in the db, for non-ldap-users like 'admin') being encrypted. However, this prevents all LDAP users from logging in. I suppose that base_crypt tries to authenticate the user and if this fails, login fails, without users_ldap trying to authenticate. I think this behaviour should be changed towards: 1. Check whether user can login using the (possibly encrypted) password in the database. 2. If not, check whether user can login using the LDAP password. 3. If now, refuse access. Right now, the second step seems to be omitted when base_crypt is used. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~c2c-oerpscenario Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~c2c-oerpscenario More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
