Re: [jetty-users] MD5 password obfuscation not cooperating

Steven,
I don't get different results?
With the code:
MD5 m1 = (MD5)Credential.getCredential(MD5.digest("123foo"));
System.err.println(TypeUtil.toHexString(m1.getDigest()));
I get Bb07Dc9b660a99356c244eFd99254306
With the unix command
echo -n 123foo | md5sum
I get bb07dc9b660a99356c244efd99254306
Are you sure you sure you don't have a trailing CR ? The -n is important!
<sigh..> Yes, it appears I got myself wrapped in a circle. I _thought_ I
was seeing different results with the Tomcat hashing tool, but as you
point out I was probably using 'md5sum' and processing the newline
character.
Just went back and re-checked. Indeed, all three methods produce the same
hash. Sorry about that!
Would be a good idea to update the documentation with details for setting
up obfuscated MD5 hash for digest auth.
Thanks very much for your help and responsiveness.
