--- Comment #15 from S <bl...@gmx.net> ---
Hi,

what I'm doing is to hash the user-entered password 999x on the client with a
salt (visible in the JS code) on the OK-Click in my login form. Then I send it
to Tomcat and have it compared to the stored hash (1000x hashed with the same
salt).

This way there is never send a unhashed password (even not when you are not
using https, which you shouldn't) and you can configure the number of
pre-hashing to your needs (to be safe against generating rainbow tables for
your salt). This might be useful in times of modern GPUs executing billions of
SHA1-hashes per second (2300M/s SHA1 hashes in 2009).
