Method Summary

	Options	Name	Purpose
		RAW GetUserSalt (handle)	/* Returns a per-user salt used for hashing (typically) passwords @param handle (optional) The ABL [user] table buffer used to calculate/determine the salt @return raw A salt to use for hashing. The caller will determine whether nulls are allowed */
		CHARACTER HashPassword (character, raw)	/* Hashes a password for storage with (typically) a user account. By default this demonstrates use with the standard _User table. The default implementation uses GENERATE-PASSWORD-HASH() with "_oeuser-uphA1" and ignores any salt value passed. Additionally, an override of this method might use a different hashing algorithm. @param character A mandatory clear-text password @param raw An optional salt value @return character A string representation of the hashed password */
