Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2001 11:47:46 -0500 I'm currently working on a way to have a little check box in the web page for Login so that stored cookies are optioinal. I think that this fits the bill better. The only thing I can think of that would be good for the encryption of passwords is to (probably optionally) provide a method of logging in over a secure connection. I realize that this implies that the person has to have a secure web server. This is also something feasible over SSL. There is such a thing as Secure cookies, which are basically cookies for secure web sites. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yngve Svendsen" <yngve.svendsen@clustra.com> To: <ayourk@ndak.net>; <gnats-gnats@sourceware.cygnus.com> Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2001 10:16 Am Subject: Re: gnatsweb/201: GNATS Web forces stored cookies rather than temp cookies.

A patch is provided below: Thanks for the patch. We do, however, want to keep using stored cookies since we want to preserve login data between sessions. I would, however, like to implement encryption of passwords stored in cookies. Any input as to how that could best be done would be appreciated. Yngve Svendsen Gnatsweb maintainer
