Support hashed passwords

[ctheune]

I'm a bit surprised that passwords in the simple authentication are supported only in plaintext.

I have no way to store plaintext passwords and this really encourages bad behaviour. Even if the open source edition has a somewhat reduced feature set, I think general crypt features should be supported.

When generating config with data from any other database, chances are that people won't store their passwords in plain text. I don't, and I don't see any way to get this set up at all. :(

I would gladly accept a patch or assist anyone interested in working on it.

Hi, any feedback on that patch?

This should be high and now low IMHO

Hey there,@palourde, I'd be "Dee-diddly-lighted" if we could move this forward, somehow. :)
