Chaning the password format
On a new Kentico 5.5 installation I need to change the password format to Clear, when I change the membershipProvider settings in the web.config and then create a new user, the password is hashed using SHA1.

Does the Kentico membership provider support chaning the password format to clear?

Thanks!

Hi,

You can change the password format in Site Manager -> Settings -> Security -> Password format field.

SHA1 and plain text are supported.

Best regards,

Ok, I found it. Maybe a good idea to also support web.config configuration, most ASP.NET developers that are familiar with membership providers expect to be able to control this through the web.config file.

Hi,

We will consider it. But we try to avoid this kind of settings and only low level things are being configured on web.config level - therefore is the CMS system built - that the user doesn't have to do things on code file level but in some UI instead.

Best regards,
