Re: Prewikka - Encoded aditional data (bug, feature or mistake)

Hello again,

I was doing more research and I think I found the source of the problem.
I first encountered the issue when using PostgreSQL as database backend.
I installed the mysql and let manager to write to both databases. As I
suspected, database contained unencrypted data and so did the aditional
data in the alert detail view.

So my guess is that the problem is somewhere in the postgresql database
plugin.

I will report this bug to the prelude bugtracker.

Have a nice day
