> We have an issue when we import users from a different system to clerezza.
> The users have passwords encrypted in SSHA (not SHA-1 as clerezza uses). We
> do not have their clear-text passwords.
> Now I wonder how would you best enable clerezza to support logins with
> different password encoding methods. Most likely a single user will only use
> one encoding but different users can have different encodings.
> I have seen you have WeightedAutenicationMethod services. But if I interpret
> this correctly it won't solve my issue. I assume I am looking for a way to
> register multiple AutenticationChecker services such that passwords can be
> checked against more than one of them. I don't see this implemented so far.
> Some questions with this would be:
> - do we simply add new properties for differently encoded passwords
> (passwordSsha, passwordSha1, ...) or do we change the ontology so a password
> resource contains both, the encrypted string as a literal and a uri
> designating the password encoding method?
> - can the user have more than one such password resources (the password
> encoded in multiple encryption methods)?
> - how to update user passwords? (e.g. delete all passwords and add a new one
> in the default encoding of the platform)
> I could provide a patch for this issue but we should define how we want to
> resolve it first.
