Encrypte password question
Hi,

I want to know that would the user`s password by encrypted
in the field of password of mysql database. Because i want my website offers many services, therefore, i need a central database to store an user`s password to avoid multiple registration. Because i am afriad my own php scripts are unable to use the encrypted password of GMail since the password of GMail is Encrypted in the mysql.

Thanks!

Hi,

By default the password is not stored encrypted in Gossamer Mail. However, it is very easy to create a plugin so that Gossamer Mail authenticates off of another database.

We have already developed a plugin so that Gossamer Mail will authenticate off a POP server. So as long as you enter in a username/password of a valid pop account, you can log in and use Gossamer Mail. This is ideal for settings that want Gossamer Mail to access their email remotely.

We also plan to develop plugins for popular forums so that you can install Gossamer Mail and instantly give all your users on your forum free email.

Hope this helps,

Alex
