Hi,

+1 support for this.

While at the conference in Dallas, I discussed with many people about the CAS ClearPass code. I spoke mainly about the longevity of this codebase, many people were in support of getting this code to a level where it would be maintained across such changes.

Would such a change impact on this code? A feature where password were encrypted at the CAS end before being transfered into the portal session as pre-encrypted could benefit this code.

Thanks,
Anthony.

Hi all,

I wanted to propose contributing some uPortal enhancements on behalf of the University of Chicago. The enhancements improve the existing CachePasswordSecurityContext to encrypt the password with a Spring-configurable encryption service before storing it in the session. We've also updated the CachedPasswordUserInfoService to configurably either decrypt the cached password before adding it to a portlet's UserInfoMap, or to pass it through in its encrypted form. These changes are intended to preserve the ability of uPortal to potentially cache user passwords, while ensuring that any passwords present in the user session are encrypted.

Is this a change that we could contribute to the uPortal 3.2-oriented trunk?
