--------------------------------------
Hi Glen,
What you say makes sense. I did think about this when designing and thought
that it would be best to let the administrator make the call (default or
private salt). Knowing the salt reduces security, but it's not drastic. However
changing the salt does matter! So I'm happy to remove the default salt value
and throw an exception, if you think thats better behaviour.

> Issue Type: Improvement

> We would like to store passwords within the wiki pages.
> Securing the page is trivial, however the contents on disk remain clear text.
> It would be very nice to have a page type that could be stored in an
> obfuscated form on disk.
> As an addition have a secondary password to display/edit the encrypted
> contents on disk for those who do not want to use wiki security on the page.
> I suspect this will have potentially drastic effects on the revisions
> process, but it would be a small price to pay for security.
