 * This class provides an example of an enhanced password storage scheme.
 * Passwords will be encoded using a salted SHA-1 digest, but rather than
 * dynamically generating the salt.  As such, access to the full entry will be
 * required in order to generate the encoded password.  Also note that the
 * salt will not automatically be generated or written by this password storage
 * scheme implementation, so it must already be present in the entry, and
 * if the salt is to be changed then that must be done in conjunction with
 * changing the password.
 * <BR><BR>
 * This password storage scheme has one configuration argument:
 * <UL>
 *   <LI>salt-attribute -- The name or OID of the attribute that will appear in
 *       user entries and will be used as the salt when generating an encoded
 *       password.</LI>
