Brill Pappin commented on JAMES-334:
------------------------------------

The problem was that I had to modify James to use the same authentication store 
as several other applications, and because the alg was so "strange" it caused a 
real problem.

I don't think that the one it was using was all that bad, but it was very tough 
to change.

I'd request, at the very least you allow the administrator to specify the 
method to use... and idealy provide a way for someone to write a custome auth 
module.

> SELECT SHA("test") in MySQL

> CY9rzUYh03PK3k6DJie0
> which doesn't even "look" like SHA.
