[CDO] Access to password on the server [message #966869]

I need a way to access the user password on the CDO server and figured I could use some kind of public/private key magic to not transmit a plain password.

My problem is that on the server side I need to extend the SessionManager (override the authenticateUser method basically), but this is prohibited because SessionManager is an internal class.

I have not looked on the client side, maybe there exists a similar problem.

What can I do about it? I do not want do duplicate the SessionManager and Session classes just to be able to change the implementation of one method.

Thanks.

Hi Jan,

The solution is a Diffie-Hellman based authentication protocol. I've implemented that a year ago for a customer who then
didn't want to pay for it. So it got never committed. Please contact me privately if you want to sponsor this
functionality on his behalf.

Cheers
