Since responding to this same message a little while ago, Mike and I were
discussing a couple of additional (possibly more suitable) solutions to your
question. The first thing you can do is simply write an AuthSelect in your
AuthBy SQL that returns both the plaintext and the encrypted password fields
and then have AuthColumnDef's for both. Only the password that is actually
returned will be checked, while the null value will be ignored.
A second method is to mix both plaintext and encrypted passwords in the same
column, and as long as the encrypted passwords have the appropriate leading tag
on them (eg. {crypt}, {SHA}, $1$), the plaintext password checker will do the
right thing. See section 13.1.1 in the Radiator 2.15 reference manual.
As to my previous post, the comment I was trying to make is still valid -
defining AuthBy's with Identifier's makes configuration files *much* easier to
build and understand.
cheers
