Re: [galaxy-dev] In which Encryption form does Galaxy store password?

Its hashed (sha1) and you can not reverse the hash. Storing passwords in a reversible manner is bad practice. http://galaxy-central.readthedocs.org/en/latest/_modules/galaxy/util/hash_ut...

You could maybe authenticate your users from the other program with the same method against the hashed passwords.

best, ido
