Comment #12 on issue 690 by volkov.rodion: password sent in plain text  
during user auth
http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/issues/detail?id=690

No, actually you are slightly wrong at what you are trying to do. In order  
to
implement SSL authentication and further work with SSL you have to have the  
following
lines in your OpenMeetings' config.xml file:

<rtmpsslport>8443</rtmpsslport>
<!--
Wether it should try to connect to rtmps first or not
Valid values: yes / no

NOTE: The OSx and Linux Flash Player are NOT able to connect via rtmps
The support for Windows is experimental
  -->
<useSSL>yes</useSSL>

As well as your Red5/conf/red5.properties should contain the following  
section:

# RTMPS
rtmps.host=0.0.0.0
rtmps.port=8443
rtmps.ping_interval=5000
rtmps.max_inactivity=60000
rtmps.max_keep_alive_requests=-1
rtmps.max_threads=20
rtmps.acceptor_thread_count=2
rtmps.processor_cache=20
# RTMPS Keystore Password
rtmps.keystorepass=password

And SSL will be used any time you connect to your openmeetings with your  
typical URL,
say http://localhost:5080/openmeetings. No need to change the port or  
something. But,
this all will work only with Windows, flash on Linux doesn't support rtmps  
yet.

But, this all is valid for client-to-server transactions. As for LDAP,  
after the
password is sent to server, it will try to authenticate with LDAP server  
and password
will be sent in plain text between those two servers, to avoid that you  
should use
the patch attached above, it should implement MD5 encrypted authentication.
Unfortunately, at the moment it works with Windows AD servers only if  
passwords are
stored in reversible encryption, which by itself is a security flaw.
