I have JWchat with Ejabberd on IIS. I got it working with MSSQL. Since our present database users table stores password hash, but Ejabberd only stores plain text password. I am looking into Erlang to see if it has some encryption mechnism. So far I didn't find much.
Has anybody done encryption of password in Ejabberd?
Thanks.
It was discussed, but it isn't interesting
This has been discused on the past on the mailing list of ejabberd and other Jabber servers.
If the passwords are stored encrypted, there are some authentication methods that can't be used.
It may be technically possible to store the passwords encrypted, but I'm not aware of any patch that adds this funcionality, and I don't know anybody interested in coding it.
