Clear Password Storage Scheme (LEGACY)

LEGACY since 7.0.0: is insecure. Alternative: Use any of the one-way hash algorithms enabled by default when you install a new server.

The Clear Password Storage Scheme provides a mechanism for storing user passwords in clear text, without any form of obfuscation.

This scheme contains only an implementation for the user password syntax, with a storage scheme name of "CLEAR". The Clear Password Storage Scheme should only be used if there are client applications that specifically require this capability.

Parent
