admin tool and password digestion

[Dirk Brockmann <zw...@chaos.gwdg.de>]

Hi,
I've just installed tomcat 5.0.25 and have started it succesfully.
I've set it up with a UserDatabaseRealm according to:

<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm" 
digest="MD5"/>

in the file tomcat_users.xml I've got a user definition
 <user username="tomcat" password="1b359d8753858b55befa0441067aaed3" 
roles="tomcat,admin"/>

with a MD5 digested password. With this setup I can succesfully
authenticate against the admin and the manager tool.
However, if I add a new user with the admin tool the new data
is written into tomcat_users.xml with a clear text password, undigested.
My question is:
Defining a new user, can I provide a clear text password which is
digested by the admin tool before the data is written into tomcat_users.xml.

Help in this matter is greatly appreciated,
Dirk
