Hello Christian,

as LSC is a client, it should have the password in clear text to be able to 
send it to the server.

But you can configure LSC as Kerberos client, in this case, you don't have to 
store the password in lsc.xml, see

Hi,

To improve the security,
it's will be good to have the possiblity to set encrypted password on the 
lsc.xml

As i have read this mail archive :
" https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01553.html "

    The password should be in clear in lsc.xml, but you have to restrict the 
access to this file to the lsc program.

Sorry to say that, but  i don't want to trust on my linux server policy :
 Actually as it's not possible to set a encrypted password so all people with 
root permission where it's running the LSC (can) known critical password of 
ldap "administrator" of ALL providers

For me it's a important security issue
