The extension +rsaauth will now decrypt the password and provide the decrypted version for +other services. +So external authentication services can access the clear text password always +through $this->loginData['uident_text'], no matter if the password has been +transmitted as plain text during the login or rsaauth has decrypted it. + +Due to major changes in the login service of rsaauth, all extensions which +use XCLASS to extend that class, most likely will fail, whereas other extension +which make proper use of the public API of the rsaauth extensions will continue +working without any problem. +In any case, it is recommended to adjust external authentication services to +benefit from the changes. + +See new chapter in TYPO3 services documentation (doc_core_services) about the +topic of authentication services: http://forge.typo3.org/issues/31413 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Backend -- GitLab
