Thomas,

You have to change the opencms authentication method.
A quick solution is to store the password unencrypted in the database.
To do this, change the passwordhandler in opencms-system.xml setting
<digest-type>plain</digest-type>

A better solution is to use a reversable (two-way) encryption
algorithm. To do this, create a class that implements
I_CmsPasswordHandler and put it in <passwordhandler> in
opencms-system.xml.

regards,
Alessandro Magnolo
