API - user_auth passes plain text password

0
Lewis Tsao (217●49●63) | asked Mar 18 '11, 7:38 a.m.
Hi,

I am trying to automate various BF activities using the Perl API.

Found that $connection->user_auth(user, password) passes plaintext password. Is there a way of passing encrypted password?

Putting plaintext password in a restricted file does not solve the problem.

Thanks

Oops...

I meant $connection->authUser(.....).
And the plain text password in carried in the network traffic!
