encrypted passwords in accounts.xml
Is it possible to encrypt the passwords in accounts.xml and still use HTTP authentication, similar to having an encrypted password in an apache .htaccess file?

Yes, but that requires a modification of the Server software. The patch wasn't that big and I might have posted it on the list. If I havn't: Just look into the code that operates on the pass phrase and adapt it accordingly... (demo code to encrypt and verify pass phrases should be in the net...) But beware: encrypted pass phrases require plain authentification (so use TLS...) Bye Goetz
