Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-4483:
-------------------------------------------
It looks like we'll have to change the default algorithm to SHA-1, since
SHA-256 is not supported on weme 6.2 (see DERBY-4602). It seems the only
algorithms available on all supported platforms are SHA-1 and MD5.
> Provide a way to change the hash algorithm used by BUILTIN authentication

> The BUILTIN authentication scheme protects the passwords by hashing them with
> the SHA-1 algorithm. It would be nice to have way to specify a different
> algorithm so that users can take advantage of new, stronger algorithms
> provided by their JCE provider if so desired.
