Crowd database password encoding

[Отправитель Скрыт]

Hello, can you tell how it can be posible:

I have Crowd 4.1.1 and when i looked in database in "crowd_application" table i see that in "credential" column i have some encripted string. But on that article
https://confluence.atlassian.com/crowd/password-encryption-1026041234.html
talk that encription available after 4.2 version

Hi,

I don't have a Crowd 4.1 instance I can check, but the docs do indicate that from Crowd 4.2 credentials will be automatically encrypted. Given you've got a key on 4.1.1, I was wondering if this meant that it was OPTIONAL on your version, but cannot find any docs to back this up. 

If you're looking to encrypt the credentials, I'd suggest upgrading - and given 4.1.1 was release just over two years ago and there've been numerous security upgrades since, this should be done anyway.
