Turn off client side password encryption

[Quantel]

Don't you think that you should work harder for that

Not really - as you are no doubt aware, some systems use encryption systems other than md5 or md5 with a salt. In this case with Lotus, the password is encrypted for comparison to the stored password on the server and thus the only way to log in against it is to send a plain text password from the client.

Any system worth its pennies will not allow an encrypted password to be seen based upon the submission of a correct username. LN is the same - you can't just send the username and get back the encrypted password to then be compared against the password encrypted at client level by vB.

instead of breaking the privacy of your users by having their passwords?

Me having their passwords and thus breaking their privacy is subjective as I have access to the database and of course all data. As far as the transmission of plain text passwords, SSL addresses that concern.
