This provider is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. The MD5 provider should be used instead. Base64MD5PasswordFile Provider uses local file to store and manage user credentials similar to PlainPasswordFile but instead of storing a password the MD5 password digest encoded with Base64 encoding is stored in the file. When creating an authentication provider the path to the file needs to be specified. If specified file does not exist an empty file is created automatically on Authentication Provider creation. On Base64MD5PasswordFile Provider deletion the password file is deleted as well. For this provider user credentials can be added, removed or changed using Management.

The user credentials are stored on the single file line as user name and user password pairs separated by colon character. The password is stored MD5 digest/Base64 encoded. This file must not be modified externally whilst the Broker is running.
