Subject: [wss] Current user-name password construction requires plain textpassw ord at server



I had pointed this problem out in:

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/wss/200212/msg00063.html

The issue is not finding some nifty new password algorithm but
that standard LDAP/AD deployments typically store only hashed passwords.

Adding a new "WS password deployment" model to security systems is a
bad idea and will simply lead to plain text passwords being stored
in ad-hoc repositories. We should instead revise the 
password hashing methods so that plain text passwords are not required.
