When running the SimpleAuthenticator in MD5 mode it will try to compare the
plain text password with a MD5 digest from the passwd.properties file.
However the password in the property file is already a MD5 digest thus it's now
digested twice.
Code snippet
"
case MD5:
authenticated = MessageDigest.isEqual(password.getBytes(),
MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5").digest(props.getProperty(username).getBytes()));
break;
