Fix first part of Password handling security issue2550688
(thanks Joseph Myers for reporting and Eli Collins for fixing)
Small change against original patch: We still accept plaintext passwords
(in known_schemes) when parsing encrypted password (e.g. from database).
This way existing databases with plaintext passwords continue to work (I
don't know of any, this would need patching on the users side) and all
regression tests pass.

========================== PostgreSQL/psycopg Backend ========================== This are notes about PostqreSQL backend based on the psycopg adapter for Roundup issue tracker. Prerequisites ============= To use PostgreSQL as backend for storing roundup data, you should additionally install: 1. PostgreSQL 7.x - http://www.postgresql.org/ 2. The psycopg python interface to PostgreSQL: http://initd.org/software/initd/psycopg It is recommended that you use at least version 1.1.21 Some advice on setting up the postgresql backend may be found at: http://www.magma.com.ni/wiki/index.cgi?TipsRoundupPostgres Running the PostgreSQL unit tests ================================= The user that you're running the tests as will need to be able to access the postgresql database on the local machine and create and drop databases. Edit the ``test/test_postgresql.py`` database connection info if you wish to test against a different database. The test database will be called "rounduptest".
