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 as follows:
passwordHasher=/atg/dynamo/security/DigestPasswordHasher
Change this property to ensure consistency with the LDAP password encryption method you’ve chosen. For Netscape 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 Netscape Directory Server, you may need to create your own PasswordHasher implementation, if none of the PasswordHasher implementations included in ATG 2007.3 meet your requirements. See the Password Hashing section in the Customizing Application Security chapter of the ATG Programming Guide for more information about ATG’s PasswordHasher implementations.
See User Profiling Tools in the Working with User Profiles chapter for more information about configuring the PropertyManager component.
