Could you elaborate more on your use case for this? I don't understand why you'd need to capture and store the password.
In Norway we have a national patron database, that among other things holds patron's PIN codes. These are encrypted using a key that only vendors have access to. To be able to store and transmit the encypted PIN in the correct format, we need to be able to capture it, and encrypt it in the way the national patron database expects, so we can sync it to other ILSes.
This was not my idea, and it might change in the future, but for now it is something we have to implement, in order to be able to answer RFPs etc.
Thanks for explaining. I think that I understand more now. I just took a peek at bug 11401 and https://lanekortet.no/ (thanks Google Translate). I wonder why they don't use something like LDAP or use SSO. Inertia maybe. I still think how the NNPDB works is bizarre but I understand the rationale. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
