# A thin wrapper around a jetty utility to hash passwords for xml files
# XXX narrowly supports one version (at least, 6.1.24) of Jetty
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Configuration (alter to your needs)
# -----------------------------------
JETTY_CLASSPATH='/usr/share/java/jetty-6.1.24.jar:/usr/share/java/jetty-util-6.1.24.jar'
JETTY_PWD_FQCN=org.mortbay.jetty.security.Password

##
 # Password utility wrapper function
 # @note This is hardly portable between environments, needs work for that
 #       Tested against 6.1.24 on Ubuntu (version?)
 ##
function jetty_hash_pass
{
    user=$1
    pass=$2

}

# read optional user argument
user=''

    user=$1
    echo "user: $user"

# since our version of the password tool seems to not handle the ? option correctly
# and prompt for a password, we can just handle that part ourselves
echo Enter password

# hash the username/password
