| <title>Base64MD5 Password File <emphasis>(Deprecated)</emphasis></title> |
| <para><emphasis>This provider is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. The |
| <link linkend="Java-Broker-Security-MD5-Provider">MD5</link> provider should be used |
| instead.</emphasis></para> |
| <para> Base64MD5PasswordFile Provider uses local file to store and manage user credentials |
| similar to PlainPasswordFile but instead of storing a password the MD5 password digest encoded |
| with Base64 encoding is stored in the file. When creating an authentication provider the path |
| to the file needs to be specified. If specified file does not exist an empty file is created |
| automatically on Authentication Provider creation. On Base64MD5PasswordFile Provider deletion |
| the password file is deleted as well.</para> |
| <para>For this provider user credentials can be added, removed or changed using |
| Management.</para> |
| <section> |
| <title>Base64MD5 File Format</title> |
| <para> The user credentials are stored on the single file line as user name and user password |
| pairs separated by colon character. The password is stored MD5 digest/Base64 encoded. This |
| file must not be modified externally whilst the Broker is running.</para> |
