Adam Heath commented on OFBIZ-3006:
-----------------------------------
Jacques, SHA1 and MD5 are the same kind of technology; they are both one-way hashes. Either could be used for password-type fields. Originally, it was MD5. I added an ability to have different hashes(I stored the hash type in the database), then added salt ability(as a prefix).
The examples given are for password-type fields. As that support has been around for quite a while now, this issue can be closed.
Additionally, if you really are concerned about *encrypted* fields not having a salt, then svn trunk now supports such a feature. In the entitymodel definition, you can set encrypt="salt", and the value saved to the database will have a salt pre-pended. Note, that if you do this, then you will not be able to do direct lookups against that value.
> entity encrypt columns not using encryption salt value?

> Affects Versions: SVN trunk
> Reporter: chris snow
> Assignee: Adam Heath

> It looks as though no salt data is used when saving encrypted entity data making the stored data susceptible to dictionary attacks.
> If you look through the stored demo data, you can see all the demo accounts passwords are the same:
> {code}
> UserLogin:
> admin {SHA}47ca69ebb4bdc9ae0adec130880165d2cc05db1a
> flexadmin {SHA}47ca69ebb4bdc9ae0adec130880165d2cc05db1a
> ...
> {code}
> As a comparison, if you create a two unix accounts, "ofbiz1" and "ofbiz2" and set both passwords to "ofbiz"
> {code}
> ofbiz1:$6$3.mYZg9u$0E...:14524:0:99999:7:::
> ofbiz2:$6$MJhYeMqO$Jf...:14524:0:99999:7:::
> {code}
> You can see that on unix, even though the passwords are the same, the encrypted values are completely different.
