When I'm elected Supreme Allied Commander of the Universe, :-) any programmer who stores a human-readable password in *any* system (no matter how trivial the access) will stand before a firing squad! Seriously though, if your organization has to go through any type of annual external audit like we do, storing passwords in human-readable format is an instant failure. Plus, I'm sure that there's a law in some jurisdiction that prohibits this. Better to modify your process than continue using bad practices, and kudos to PF for forcing people in the right direction by encrypting the password field... -Arthur ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur Emerson III Email: [email protected] Network Administrator InterNIC: AE81 Mount Saint Mary College MaBell: (845) 561-0800 Ext. 3109 330 Powell Ave. Fax: (845) 562-6762 Newburgh, NY 12550 SneakerNet: Aquinas Hall Room 11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ PacketFence-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/packetfence-users
