This follow-up removes the security vulnerability of storing plaintext
passwords in the sip_accounts table. The SIP2 system now relies entirely
on Koha's secure password authentication.
Changes:
- Remove plaintext password comparison from login_core() and telnet_transport()
- Remove login_password column from sip_accounts table
- Update database schema files and atomic update
- Remove password field from API definitions and Vue form
- Update all tests to remove login_password references
Authentication now works in two stages:
1. Access control: Check if userid exists in sip_accounts (allowlist)
2. Authentication: Validate password against hash in borrowers table
This maintains SIP access control while eliminating plaintext password
storage. Staff users authenticate with their Koha password (securely hashed).
Test plan:
1. Run updated tests to verify they pass
2. Verify SIP2 authentication works with staff user credentials
3. Confirm no plaintext passwords are stored
