The SHA1 Password Storage Scheme provides a mechanism for encoding user passwords using an unsalted form of the SHA-1 message digest algorithm. Because the implementation does not use any kind of salting mechanism, a given password always has the same encoded form.
NOTE: Although the SHA-1 message digest algorithm is not necessarily considered insecure, attacks against this digest have identified weaknesses and it is not recommended for use in new deployments. Rather, a stronger algorithm (e.g., one based on one of the 256-bit, 384-bit, or 512-bit SHA-2 variants, or one using a resource-intensive algorithm like PBKDF2, Bcrypt, or scrypt) should be selected. If you are migrating data that contains passwords encoded with the SHA-1 digest, you may wish to update all relevant password policies to mark this scheme as deprecated so that any user with a password encoded with this scheme will have their password automatically re-encoded whenever they successfully authenticate to the server.
This scheme contains only an implementation for the user password syntax, with a storage scheme name of "SHA".
