The passwordHasher property of the /atg/userprofiling/PropertyManager component points to a password hasher component that handles password encryption. By default, this property is set like this:

passwordHasher=/atg/dynamo/security/DigestPasswordHasher

Change this property to ensure consistency with the LDAP password encryption method you’ve chosen. For Sun ONE Directory Servers, set the passwordHasher property like this:

passwordHasher=/atg/adapter/ldap/NDSPasswordHasher

The NDSPasswordHasher component supports SHA or no encryption. Set the encryption property of the /atg/adapter/ldap/NDSPasswordHasher to the appropriate value:

encryption=SHA

to use SHA password encryption, or

encryption=clearText

to disable password encryption.

For LDAP servers other than Sun ONE Directory Server, you may need to create your own PasswordHasher implementation, if none of the PasswordHasher implementations included in the ATG platform meet your requirements.

See the Working with User Profiles chapter of the ATG Personalization Programming Guide for more information about configuring the PropertyManager component.
