Password Encryption

[Antonio Gallardo Rivera <ag...@agsoftware.dnsalias.com>]

I am using authentication against the database. I am storing and geting the 
user parameters from a database. My question is:

How can I encrypt the password to store it then in the database?

Thanks in advance :)

If you want to use the modular database actions, there's digest input module
that returns the message digest of a parameter, e.g. a sh1 hash. Since it's
a "meta" module, it needs to obtain the real data from another module:

  <value name="pw" type="string">
    <mode type="new-user" name="digest" salt="salt0815" encode="true">
        <input-module name="request" parameter="user.pw1"/>
    </mode>
  </value>

See javadocs on org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input for more info.
