             Summary: Upgrade the users hashing algorithm type
                 Key: JAMES-1677
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1677
             Project: James Server
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Ahmet Kaplan
            Priority: Minor


User data models use different hashing algorithms:
JPA           -> MD5
JDBC        -> SHA
Cassandra -> SHA1
HBase       -> MD5
Memory     -> MD5
JCR           -> MD5

There are lots of hashing discussions such as

https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Password_Storage_Cheat_Sheet
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2
http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips180-4/fips-180-4.pdf

I offer SHA-256 for all user data models. 

P.S: Not exactly related but Google Chrome does not allow SHA1 at next year.
