Hi All,
Following recent removal of support to store password in plain text,
modified the code to
1. Remove "PASSWORD_TYPE_PLAINTEXT" macro
2. Instead of using "get_password_type" to retrieve the encryption method
AND to check if the password is already encrypted or not, modified the code
to
a. Use "get_password_encryption_type" function to retrieve encryption
method.
b. Use "isPasswordEncrypted" function to check if the password is already
encrypted or not.
These changes are mainly to increase code readability and does not change
underlying functionality.
Attached the patch for community's review.
Thanks & Regards,
Vaishnavi,
Fujitsu Australia.
