The Bcrypt Password Storage Scheme provides support for encoding passwords using the Bcrypt key derivation function. The string representation used by this password storage scheme is compatible with the format that OpenBSD uses for Bcrypt-encoded passwords, which has become the de facto string representation for Bcrypt-encoded passwords.
This password storage scheme implementation requires the Bouncy Castle JCE provider, which is not included with the Data Governance Server, in order to simplify United States export control restrictions imposed on the distribution of cryptographic functionality. If you wish to use this feature, you must first obtain the necessary library from the Bouncy Castle website (https://bouncycastle.org/). This implementation has been compiled and tested with version 1.65 of the library, available in file https://www.bouncycastle.org/download/bcprov-jdk15on-165.jar. This file should be placed in the "lib" directory beneath the server install root. The server will need to be restarted for this library to be available for use.

| Description | Specifies the cost factor to use when encoding passwords with Bcrypt. A higher cost factor requires more processing to generate a password, which makes attacks against the password more expensive. The value must be between 4 and 31, inclusive. Increasing the cost factor by one doubles the amount of processing required to generate the password. |
| Default Value | 10 |
| Allowed Values | An integer value. Lower limit is 4. Upper limit is 31 . |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
