Hi,
I wanted to have back the original user's password, from the encrypted
one ( that I get when I call:  currentUser.getPassword() )
Can someone save me some time, by sending the few (I guess) lines of
code needed for that.
With a quick effort I wrote the following but it did not work.

    private String decryptPass(String encryptedPass) throws Exception {

        CryptoManager cm = CryptoManager.getInstance();
        boolean usingStrongCrypto = cm.isUsingStrongCrypto();
        cm.loadClasses(usingStrongCrypto);

com.jcorporate.expresso.core.security.weakencryption.StringEncryption se
=
        new
com.jcorporate.expresso.core.security.weakencryption.StringEncryption();

        return se.decryptString(encryptedPass.getBytes());
    }

many thanks

Lirian
