[Solar-talk] Authentication Module: Password Changes

[Kilbride, James P.]

The problem is that the authentication adaptor has the information on
what hash function was used, which column, etc. I can(and do) right now
manually recreate that but since authentication knows which column
should be managed and what function to encrypt it with, and what the
salt is(the salt is probably the most critical really) it felt like it
should be able to do that to maybe. Or at least have a way to return
some of that information easily.

It is out of the scope of the Auth adapters to update authentication
data. This is related to the model where they are stored. For example,
for the sql adapter, you could add a 'update password' method to the
model which table is used by Auth_Adapter_Sql.
