<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">If your module registers a class implementing I_CmsModuleAction in opencms-modules.xml, then that class will get instantiated and called on module initialisation time (
e.g. at system start-up). Various methods defined in the interface include as a parameter an instance of CmsObject, and I believe the OpenCms runtime calls these methods (at start-up) using a CmsObject which has administrative rights. In your module's implementation of I_CmsModuleAction, you can store a reference to this CmsObject to be used later. It doesn't feel like a neat solution, but I believe people have used it successfully.

<div>Hi</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I worked on this the last days and i didn't find a possibility the get a readble password out of an user. The Password is decoded into md5, i think, and as far as i k´know, there isn't any possibility the retrieve a md5 into human readable coding and there's nothing, where opencms retrieves a password. I'm working currently on a component for opencms, where i need to build a cmsobject with a user with admin rights, but i don't want to write a user with it'S password into sourcecode(
cmsObject.loginuser(String username, String password)) nor to change the permissions of every file i have to alter before doing stuff with it and afterwards. (The user, who should initiate this component has no adminrights, so i have to switch the user of cmsObject)
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>At topic:<br>But you can directly alter passwords in the db opencms uses(CMS_USER)</div>
<div>At this point, i think it#s not very save, that the db connection stuff is written readable in the opencms.properties file</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Does anybody know a solution?<br> </div>
<div>Thanks for listening<br>Andy</div></span></div></div><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>This mail is sent to you from the opencms-dev mailing list<br>To change your list options, or to unsubscribe from the list, please visit
