title: How to modify OpenFire default password encryption algorithm?
body: <p>By default, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openfire" rel="nofollow noreferrer">OpenFire</a> server encrypts passwords <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7705098/creating-encrypted-passwords-in-openfire-mysql-via-php/8010834#8010834">using Blowfish encryption</a> whereby the key is stored in the table <a href="https://www.igniterealtime.org/builds/openfire/docs/latest/documentation/database-guide.html#ofProperty" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>ofProperty</code></a> <code>where propValue = 'passwordKey'</code>.</p>
  
  <p>How can we <strong>customize</strong> this behavior?</p>
  
  <p>How can we set OpenFire to use another encryption algorithm, or to <strong>replace</strong> the encryption algorithm with hashing instead?</p>
