> The administrator password is present within the server.xml and within the
> system partition. This is the case to require authentication to startup the
> server with access to the data therein. The problem is you cannot maintain
> the admin password in this file in hashed form. When authenticating it will
> get double hashed. So either on startup and on internal admin authentication
> you bypass hashing and only do it through the protocol or we need to force
> keeping the admin password in clear text.
> This is not such a good thing IMO. Something must be done for this.
