The RC4 Password Storage Scheme provides a mechanism for encoding user passwords using the RC4 reversible encryption mechanism.
NOTE: The RC4 Password Storage Scheme is considered insecure and is not recommended for use in production deployments unless you are migrating data that contains password encoded in this format. In such cases, it is highly recommended that it also be configured as a deprecated password storage scheme in all relevant password policies so that users with passwords encoded in this format will automatically have those passwords re-encoded whenever they use them to authenticate to the server.
This scheme contains only an implementation for the user password syntax, with a storage scheme name of "RC4".
