DomainController must return password?

[A.M.]

Hello,

We are migrating from pywebdav. While writing a WSGIDomainController
subclass which is supposed to authenticate against a PostgreSQL
server, I discovered the getRealmUserPassword "used for digest
authentication" method which wants me to return the password for the
user. Since the password is stored remotely and hashed and thus
inaccessible, so how can I implement digest authentication?

Cheers,

Hi,

I think you need a clear text password in order to implement digest authentication.
Basic authentication + SSL is an alternative.

I am not an expert however, so if you find another solution, please let me know :-)
