Table LS_USER

The user table. Each user belongs to a single domain and zero or more groups in that domain. All users in the system and the hosted sites are present in this table. I.e. site administrator user names are present in the same table as the normal users registered for using the site. If a user is removed, care must be taken to also remove all referencing rows in other tables.

PASSWORD

PASSWORD VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL

The encoded user password. The password is not stored in plain text in this column, rather a base-64 encoded MD5 hash of the password is stored. This makes it impossible to recover a lost password, but also provides more security. The password MD5 hash is generated from both the user name and password, making it impossible to find identical passwords by checking the hashed values.

The enabled flag. This flag is set to one (1) if the user account is active and allows logins.

REAL_NAME

REAL_NAME VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL

The real name of the user.

EMAIL

The user e-mail address. Users without a registered e-mail address may have this field left blank.
