so… an encrypted form of the salted hash?
Also, any user should want to be able to alter their own password. Is it
possible for them to be able to do this through the
Edit staff list
dialog? Maybe add a line with
Password: < > New password: < > Re-enter new password: < >
and, if they cannot now alter it without knowing
gm-dbo
then let them at least input the information and, if all was ok with the three
password fields above, then evoke the prompt for an administrator to supply the
gm-dbo password, with the instruction:
Please get your database administrator to authorize this change:
gm-dbo password: < >
