Robert Newson reassigned COUCHDB-2367:
--------------------------------------
Assignee: Javier Candeira
all yours!
> Eliminate plaintext passwords altogether
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-2367
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2367
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: Database Core
> Reporter: Javier Candeira
> Assignee: Javier Candeira
>
> In discussion about https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2364,
> rnewson and candeira agreed on:
> <+rnewson> Maybe spent a little more time on the idea that we remove support
> for plaintext passwords entirely?
> <+rnewson> I dislike the hash-on-startup thing.
> <+rnewson> we could insist that you set up admins via PUT _config
> <+rnewson> and remove the hash_unhashed_admins function, and also ignore
> non-hashed lines in config
> <+rnewson> couchdb 2.0 could simply require the hashed version from the start
> (and we'd supply a hashing tool akin to htpasswd in httpd), or
> < kandinski> what about PUT _config, it would still exist?
> <+rnewson> absolutely, yes.
