CredentialHandler  tomcat 7

2023-10-22 Thread Усманов Азат Анварович
Hi everyone! I'm trying to use CredentialHandler with tomcat  to increase 
security since our db at $work still has pwd stored as md5 hashes. Some of our 
servers still use tomcat 7.092/ I was looking at this presentation by  
Christopher Shultz  
http://people.apache.org/~schultz/ApacheCon%20NA%202017/Seamless%20Upgrades%20for%20Credential%20Security%20in%20Apache%20Tomcat.pdf
  it mentions that Credention handler should be available to a web app in 
Tomcat 7.0.70+ But then I looked up source code for catalina.jar in 7.0.92 and 
7.0.109-src  I cant find class Named CredentialHandler.Am I looking at the 
wrong place or is it just not available in tomcat 7 ? Also tomcat docs for 7  
doesn't seem to mention CredentialHandler at all..

Looks like the CredentialHandler mechanism was introduced in 8.0.15 (November 
2014), with no indication that it would ever be retrofitted to any 7.0.x 
version. (The footnote on slide 30 of the cited presentation appears to be in 
error.)

Given that Tomcat 7.0 has not been supported for over two years and numerous 
issues have been addressed in the intervening time period, it might be time to 
upgrade…
