Setting up custom passwords

[Mark]

As someone who is not familiar with Jetty, it took a little time to
figure out how to configure new accounts with passwords that are not
in plaintext. It was suggested that I might want to share this with
the group, so here goes:

$ cd ControlTier/pkgs/jetty-6.1.14
$ java -cp lib/jetty-6.1.14.jar:lib/jetty-util-6.1.14.jar
org.mortbay.security.Password username password
OBF:obfpass
MD5:md5pass
CRYPT:cryptpass

Then add this to etc/realm.properties like so:
username: MD5:md5pas>,user,build,deploy

Note that if you want to use digest authentication, there appears to
be another step involved, where you take an md5hash of something like
username:workbench:obfpass or username:jobcenterrealm:obfpass

(Note that if you use digest you must use OBF). As a caveat, I have
not tested the digest portion of these instructions, that's just a
best guess from the things I read while getting the straight hashed
passwords to work.

Hi Mark,

I couldn't find a wiki page on general authentication using either plaintext or hashed passwords. Would you be willing to start one based on this information?

Done: http://open.controltier.com/wiki/Creating_Additional_Users

I'm not much for writing this type of thing up though, so someone with
more flair for technical documentation will probably want to clean
that up.

Looks good. I linked the page into a couple of indexes but I think
it's good for now.
