> When running the SimpleAuthenticator in MD5 mode it will try to compare the plain text password with a MD5 digest from the passwd.properties file.
> However the password in the property file is already a MD5 digest thus it's now digested twice.
> Code snippet
> "
>                case MD5:
>                     authenticated = MessageDigest.isEqual(password.getBytes(), MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5").digest(props.getProperty(username).getBytes()));
>                     break;
> "
