Hello Robert,
OM stores encrypted passwords
I know no ways to decrypt them
for your use case I see a couple of doable ways to proceed:
1) set up OM for meetings only.
This way your users will be stored in your "other" system, users will
use OM via one time hashes (no passwords should be entered).
This way other areas of OM (for ex. Calendar, dashboard) will be
inaccessible
2) implement your own hashing function
https://openmeetings.apache.org/CustomCryptMechanism.html
here is an example https://github.com/openmeetings/custom-crypt
this might be less secure
2*) you can add code store users in both databases (might be more
complicated)
3) you can set-up LDAP to store credentials
maybe some other options are available :)
