Hi,

I don't understand very well your problem.

At login level, the store methos of password is indifferent, since  
it's converted internally without user action. I have encrypted  
password (MD5) and I only need write the password (login user) in  
cleartext password (in Base64 codification).

Maybe I didn't understood your problem...

Spamis
