[Jxplorer-users] Viewing raw passwords...

[Chris Betts]

Hi Peter,     if you delete the file 'com/ca/directory/jxplorer/editor/userpasswordeditor.class' from the /jars/jxplorer.jar archive (using winzip or similar on windows, or unzip/zip on unix) then you should get the 'raw' editor.     Another option would be to save the particular user as an ldap entry, and look at that :-).    However, normally it's considered bad for a system to store unencrypted passwords, so you should be very careful with such a system.  People often use the same passwords for multiple purposes, so it's generally better to encrypt passwords in the directory, and then re-issue a 'one use' password when they forget that allows them to log in and change their password to something they'll remember... otherwise a cracker who can access your directory could read off a whole list of users and passwords, and possibly use them for other purposes.     Good Luck!       - Chris On 03/05/2006, at 6:57 PM, hamada wrote: Hallo.   Today I try your  JXplorer.
