Hi Everyone,

Further to Nuno's question last week I have just put two short papers on
my website, the first discussing clear text password transmissions when
changing a users password in the database which i showed in my post last
and the second discussing the same issue with set role {blah} identified
by {blah}. 

The second paper also discusses an issue I found whereby you can bypass
the password protection assigned to a role. Both papers describe the
issues and also suggest possible solutions. The papers are available
from:

http://www.petefinnigan.com/ramblings/passwords_in_clear_text.htm
and
http://www.petefinnigan.com/ramblings/issues_with_roles_and_passwords.ht
m

Hope you find them useful.

kind regards

Pete
