Where does Liferay store the previous passwords of the user when the history is enabled in the Password Policy of that user??

Example:

If the History Checking is enabled in the password policy and the history count is 6,
is there a file or table where Liferay store these passwords??

Thanks for the help..

Hi Mazhar,

1. First enable the "password history" by editing the default password policy.

2. Change the password for any user and then check the password tracker table.

don't think so, generally, you don't want to decrypt passwords and display it. not a good idea.

No. If you set in portal-ext.properties to save password in clear text, password will be viewable in the database table. If you database support column encryption, it may be possible to set liferay to save password in clear text and have the database encrypt the password column.

Hi Wilson, Good Morning.

Gabriel León from México, We have a system based on c# and sql server 2005 I want is possible know what tables affect on sql server (liferay tables) so users I create on my system can be created on liferay, changes I made can be change in liferay (like password, name, etc). We want this system to interact with the portal.

well, the short answer is User_ table, but you shouldn't update that directly using a different application or manually. Liferay Portal keeps a cache of things, and also has dependencies between tables, so updating its database directly is highly discouraged.
