[keycloak-user] Porting user passwords to keycloak

[Stian Thorgersen]

In authentication / password policy you can configure what hashing
algorithm new passwords are hashed with. If you change that value then
update the users password either through admin console or account
management it should use your provider.

However, this is probably not what you want as you are implementing a md5
hash provider which is weaker than the built in provider. I assume you want
to import users with passwords that are hashed using md5? If so you need to
specify the algorithm for the password in the json when you import the
user. For example:

"users" : [ {
    "username" : "myuser",
    "enabled" : true,
    "credentials" : [ {
      "type" : "password",
      "hashedSaltedValue" : "***************",
      "salt" : "**************",
      "hashIterations" : 1000,
      "algorithm" : "restcomm-md5"
    } ]
  } ]
