James Yong commented on OFBIZ-10047:
------------------------------------

Thanks Jacques. 

I have revised the original comments for "password is stored in clear.". Hope 
it is clearer.

>From Tomcat point of view, the mutate method is meant to prevent the attacker 
>from knowing the username doesn't exists by encrypting the input password. But 
>if the passwords are stored as clear text in the database, it doesn't make 
>sense to implement the mutate method.

Even though the mutate methods are implemented as it should behave, OFBiz 
doesn't hide the fact that the username doesn't exist during the login process. 
Maybe for business reasons?
