[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-332?page=all ]

Stefano Bagnara updated JAMES-332:
----------------------------------

        Summary: Support other digest algorithm (was: SHA hard coded in 
adduser)  (was: SHA hard coded in adduser)
           type: Improvement  (was: Bug)
    Description: 
It seems that JDBC is the default digest alg when creating users. this works 
fine when the use repository doesn't have to work with anything else, but MD5 
is more common.

In my case, I'm using a custom configuration that allows me to use the same 
auth table for Tomcat and James. I think (though I haven't checked) that I can 
configure tomcat to use SHA, but I have a significan't amount of legacy data 
that uses MD5, whic is going to break thing.

As of now, my only option is to *try* and recompile James with MD5 as the 
default (and I havn't had much luck yet). Because of that, this ticket is 
marked as Critical.
