1.I am having a web app in which a user can register by providing new user id and password and i am encrypting the password using AES and storing it in my postgres database
For user welcome page I want to use form based authentication using tomcat
But for that i first need the user to login in my login page then i decrpyt the password in my database and check it with the user entering password
But from my understanding so far about tomcat authentication i need to use password="j_password" for password validation
but my database contains only encrypted password so hope you get my question
please help!! Thanks in advance.....

I am a beginner of asp.net. I currently have a login page with forgot password link button on the bottom of the screen. I am also using forms authentication to prevent an unauthorized user from accessing the other pages. The authentication seems to be working fine except for one thing.
How do I retrieve my password from the user list?
You don't want to store or retrieve the original password for security reasons - asp.net should be storing a hash of the original password in your data store. When a user enters their password again, the configured hashing algorithm should hash it to the same value as before and it matches the stored hash on the backend to authenticate.
See also Asp.net MVC - How to hash password for more background.
I used membership API to create users and hashed the password in database. Because of the hashed password the Login control cannot authenticate as I'm now unable to set up the login control to convert the user password entered to "Hash" value before referencing the database.
I have tried exploring the Login control "Logging_in" event handler but I seem very confused on how to use it.
I will appreciate any help
Anyone can help ,
I have created an api key and and secret key but I am getting an issue regarding to the login section means the api redirect to the https://auth.aweber.com/1.0/oauth/authorize_app/ url and here need a username and password but I am inserting my username and password but its not open and send me a message like
Notice: Invalid credentials - please retry
Make sure that you're using valid AWeber credentials when filling out that form. The username/password are not the API developer account from https://labs.aweber.com, but an actual AWeber account (i.e. what you would use to login to https://aweber.com).
I'm writing my first Symfony2 app after a few years with Symfony and am having trouble converting our user management code. It seems that to fit in with Symfony2's authentication model I have to provide user details including their (encrypted) passwords. We authenticate via a webservice that takes the username and password and responds with a confirmation and user level (user, admin etc), but it never sends the real password back to us.
What I want to do is accept the login details from a form, confirm they are valid and then set the user's roles according to the webservice's response. Where do I start?
You need to use a custom authentication provider to authenticate against your webservice. It is explained quite clearly in this blog post
You can create an user provider and its loadUserByName you can call the webservice. If success return the new UserInterface object with the password of the form empty salt string and the roles returned by the service. Also set encoder of the UserInterface to plaintext in security.yml. And then set the new created user provider in form_login auth provider in the firewall.
To authanticate users in Asp.net Membership we can call method
FormsAuthentication.Authenticate(username, password)
how can I do the same job (generate session, cookies and all other staff that Authanticate does) without users password?
I'm trying to login user over facebook connect. User's facebook id is stored within the users data. User should be signed in like a normal user.
I think you can use the SetAuthCookie method.
