+ | VuFind only stores password data when it is configured to use an internal authentication mechanism (i.e. its own database). In this case, passwords are stored as non-reversible hashes (unless the discouraged plain text configuration is enabled). When external authentication is used (e.g. LDAP, Shibboleth, etc.) no password information is stored by VuFind. | ||
