Jetspeed 2.1.2 still uses a simple scramble algorithm for stored SSO
passwords - not too secure if the password store gets captured from the
DB.

It seems that Roger Ruttimann implemented it like that temporarily until
there was an API and UI for handling encryption/re-encryption of the SSO
credentials (as with MS Sharepoint).

But no improvement ever happened (maybe because the issue was closed).

Anyone know if a secure encrypted credential store is planned, so that
SSO is safer to use in real deployments?

 

Also, when using the SSO IFrame portlet, changing the password with Edit
after you Save your username for a remote system works fine.

But if you make a mistake and save the wrong username, you can't then
change the username (updateCredentialsForSite). Only the admin can do
this, by deleting the J2 user entry from the remote site with the SSO
management portlet.

Am I doing something wrong here or is it a bug?
