Hi Martin,
no it is not. Think of UNIX which stores its passwords in the
/etc/shadow as text ... even a database may be highly insecure. The
point is the encryption of the passsword and the correct file access
settings. Both /etc/shadow and dokuWiki do encrypt their paswords, so
don't worry about that ;)
Best regards,
Gerry.

Hi all
I have just started using docuwiki and has previously used Mediawiki.
I am no PHP shark and is wondering if it is not more unsafe as I
suppose Docuwiki store users passwords in a texftile. Isn't this
somewhat more unsafe than if it was stored in a database?
With regards
Martin
