if I may reformulate my question: what is the purpose of the encrypted key in the ORS table? How can I create other users than admin to connect to photon?
thanks,

To answer the original question, the cleartext password, upon creation of the user, is hashed and stored in the db. Subsequently, when a user tries to login, the entered password is hashed and compared to the db value. The hash is very difficult to reverse, so this is generally considered a safe way to store passwords. Knowing the hashed value doesn't help you come up with the cleartext value.

To answer your second question: have a look here: http://www.marketcetera.org/confluence/display/ORS/Authentication
