hello
thank you for reporting
maybe it can be better to tell this in the forge forum or directly to my mailbox.
the "others_fields" are not working since Joomla 1.0.13 because the team has filtered any html value from the xml params.( i need to rewrite another component without using xml params ( maybe, one day if you're gentle with me ))
i have released a new version for Joomla 1.5 where these values can be used again and that is not showing the password in the source.

There's a new "XT" version (component, no module) but no explanation about the difference with the other.
BTW, XT installs OK. doc in PDF is clear.
But 'other fields' doesn't work as pretended in the PDF doc (textarea + php + mysql writing process doesn't like (greater than, lower than for HTML) and ""(double quotes for INPUT TYPE= and others) and you have other parameters in the same db field).
You need to keep in mind that you want a link to the RESULT page URL (see the form action in the source), not the login page URL. And also to think to accept scripts for the included page domain in some case.
Finally, the main problem is that user and password is in CLEAR in the source (in single mode at least, didn't check others). So it's visible by search engine spiders and people in general...

This is very powerful tool for offering special pages to clients or to CMS administrators.
Put all your cpanel admin pages here, aggregate all applications related to the CMS here like dotproject, roundcube webmail, etc.

This goes a long way toward helping CMS administrators unify the digital world of the CMS community, whether it's commercial, NPO or personal.

You can associate your users with different custom login types (cpanel, roundcube, dotproject, wikis, etc.) and assign each user a unique pw to that application.

Some Issues:
Passwords stored in msyql as cleartext - not secure

The login options are somewhat confusing, documentation is limited, considering each application has its own settings and may be finicky about being wrapped in an iframe.

Some logins by Joomla user don't work, whereas if you hardcode the single-signon user/pw it does work. Needs a bit more work there.
