http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3477 Summary: Store patron OPAC passwords in plain text Product: Koha Version: rel_3_0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows 2000 Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 Component: Patrons AssignedTo: gmcharlt@gmail.com ReportedBy: jwagner@ptfs.com Estimated Hours: 0.0 Change sponsored?: Sponsored Sponsored by East Brunswick Public Library, East Brunswick, NJ, USA. Library staff wanted to be able to see patron passwords when patrons forget the password and ask. Created a system preference StorePasswordPlaintext and a new borrowers table column named password_plaintext. For non-staff accounts, the current password will appear in the Change Password box on member-password.pl. The code will not display staff account passwords. Plaintext passwords can only be stored for patrons added or patron passwords edited after the syspref is turned on; it cannot retroactively convert existing passwords. Thus, if this capability is desired, the feature must be present and the syspref turned on before patron import. Libraries should consider the security implications of having plaintext passwords visible. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
