----------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Assignee: Kevin Meyer
Documentation updated.
Remind me to publish a little helper that will convert existing non-encoded
passwords.
> Allow Password's to be stored in database as encoded strings

> Key: ISIS-219
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ISIS-219
> Project: Isis
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Runtimes: Dflt: Objectstores: SQL
> Affects Versions: 0.3.0-incubating
> Reporter: Kevin Meyer
> Assignee: Kevin Meyer
> Fix For: 0.3.0-incubating
>
>
> At the moment, the SQL OS does not encode the Isis Password value type
> password values when writing to the database.
> This enhancement implements a simple encoding / decoding system that allows
> the Isis Password value type to be stored in a simply encoded value in the
> database table, while remaining in plain text when in memory.
> The conversion is done by the database layer when storing (encoding) and
> retrieving (decoding) values.
> Enable by adding the following to the isis.properties:
> isis.persistor.sql.password.seed=<some random text>
> isis.persistor.sql.password.length=<length of encoded string>
> All strings will be stored in the database field as strings of length
> "isis.persistor.sql.password.length", which defaults to 120.
> If isis.persistor.sql.password.seed is undefined (null), the default
> behaviour (of not encoding the string) will apply.
> The "isis.persistor.sql.password.seed" is a custom value that is used to
> encode the password.
> NOTE: This is not secure nor unbreakable, it just prevents a casual observer
> of your database from being able to read your stored passwords.
