Summary: Password management problem with password encryption
Initial Comment:
Password management does not work with JXplorer
password encryption
The DSA does not check minimum length or password
strength (alpha-numeric) chars if JXplorer is used to
change the password AND the password encryption
algorithm (a new pulldown in JXplorer) is set to
anything other than "plain text".
This is understandable as only the encrypted/hashed
password is sent to the DSA. However this does mean
that using JXplorer users can circumvent the DSA's
password management settings!!
Maybe this needs documenting/release noting? or maybe
the selectable password algorithm in JXplorer should
be a hidden option?
Heh.
He's right; there's no way the DSA can check these
things if the client encrypts the password. We could
easily stick another config option in that directory
could use to hide the options if that's what they'd
like... alternatively, we could extend the tool tip to
prompt users to use the plain version by preference...
