[TYPO3-english] 4.7 rsaauth and FE logins frequently don't work for me

[Jacob Floyd]

Is anyone else having issues with rsaauth in FE Logins? Does anyone have an 
idea why this is happening?

I'm using TYPO3 4.7.2, but I was experiencing the same problem on 4.7.1 
yesterday. I've always ignored this issue, but now that clients are 
starting to access the site, I need to resolve this (or finish moving to 
PHX... :)

Sporadically, I can login to the FE (Using FE.LoginSecurityLevel=rsa and 
the cicregister extension). Most of the time, it seems that the backend 
doesn't recognize the submitted password as being an rsa-encrypted 
password, and so denies the login attempt.

In DevLog, a login success includes:

===============When login succeeds===============
t3lib_userAuth

=================================================

But when the login fails, as it does most of the time (even though the 
password is correct), tx_rsaauth_sv1 complains in DevLog that "no rsa 
encrypted password has been found".

=============================================

That looks like rsa to me. I'm a bit lost on where to look next. Any ideas?
