+Improved Password Management and Authentication
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Evergreen user passwords are now stored with additional layers of 
+encryption and may only be accessed directly by the database, not
+the application layer.
+
+All API changes are backwards compatible with existing 3rd-party
+clients.
+
+open-ils.auth_internal
+++++++++++++++++++++++
+To support the new storage mechanism, a new Evergreen service has
+been added called "open-ils.auth_internal".  This service runs on
+the private OpenSRF/XMPP domain and is used to store authenticated 
+user data in the authentication cache.  
+
+This is a required service and changes to opensrf.xml (typically 
+/openils/conf/opensrf.xml) are needed to run the new service.
+
+.Modifying opensrf.xml
+* A new <open-ils.auth_internal> app stanza is added to define the 
+  new service
+* Cache timeout settings are moved from the app stanza for open-ils.auth
+  into open-ils.auth_internal
+* open-ils.auth_internal is added to the set of running services for the 
+  domain.
