Jacob Orshalick updated JBSEAM-3408:
------------------------------------

    Attachment: HashAlgorithm.java


Attaching potential HashAlgorithm enumeration.  If you would like me to implement the full solution, please let me know.  Will require a patch to the JpaIdentityStore.

> As specified in the documentation, the available hash algorithm string values are the strings: md5, sha.  There is also a value of "none" which is not specified in the documentation but avoids hashing the password all-together.  It would be nice to wrap these strings with an enumeration that holds the necessary String values for a bit more type-safety when using the annotation.  This would also help to make the options it a bit more clear from a user perspective.
> The annotation could then be defined as:
> @Target({METHOD,FIELD})
> @Documented
> @Retention(RUNTIME)
> @Inherited
> public @interface UserPassword
> {
>    HashAlgorithm hash() default HashAlgorithm.MD5;
> }
