[wpkg-users] user password in settings.xml for wpkg client

[Grzegorz Marszałek]

Hello!

I'm trying to generate password to wpkg share on my server. Idea is  
like this:
* I'm using puppet, but it could be any other tool for configuration  
management
* puppet is generating all wpkg config files based on database content
* ok, so after first run I've got all .xml files, and all packages  
files (.msi etc.) nicely downloaded to my server (linux with samba)
* and now I'd like to generate password for wpkg user to access share  
with software...

OK, the problem is, that wpkg client scrambles it's password in  
settings.xml file. I'd like to have random passowrd for each server I  
manage. There is no problem to generate settings.xml file (and thus  
ease installation on wpkg client on workstation), but do you know what  
algorithm is used to scrable password? I'd like to recreate it my  
script.

Best regards
