[Building Sakai] Encryption

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Ketan,

The password is ecnrypted one way only, you cannot decrypt it. When a  
person logs in, the password they supply is also encrypted and checked  
to see if it matches the encrypted one stored for the user.

BaseUserDirectoryService checkPassword() shows how its done with  
OneWayHash.encode()


cheers,
Steve
