Hello,

I use DatabaseAuthenticatorAction and Update/AddDatabaseAction for my login/user administration procedure. All user info including password is stored as clear text in the database. Is there any solution for password encryption in this context?

If you are using Oracle, you could use the database package DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT (http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/appdev.920/a96612/d_obtool.htm#6518).
It can encryt/decryt password with the same algorithm as the database.
