To address your encryption of passwords, are you sure you want to manage the
encryption of the passwords and storing them in the database yourselves ?
Because this way, YOU will landup taking care of the encryption algorithm.
Whereas if you use the database's inherent way of managing the roles and
their security, (for eg. with Oracle, grant/revoke commands) they do all
this for you.
