This authentication module is a variation of the Cloud Authentication Module that stores MD5 hashes in the database. While this is nominally more secure, its real purpose is to allow utilities to import password hashes from other applications without wasting time on cracking the hash to determine the original plaintext password. As with the cloud authentication module, no facility is provided for registering new user accounts. The submission of a gateway for this would be greatly appreciated.
