Tellier Benoit commented on JAMES-2471:
---------------------------------------

Note that algorithm upgrade can also be performed upon login, as password is 
available, as suggested by Jean Helou on server-user mailing list.

> Changing a password should use latest configured hashing algorithm

> James stores users passwords hashed in a database.
> The hashing algorithm is being stored on a per-user basis. However, when 
> changing a password, the password is hashed with the algorithm configured at 
> user creation (not the one used during the update).
> We would need, when updating user password, to ensure we are using the 
> currently configured algorithm.
> This has to be working using James WebAdmin and CLI
