Encryption in ATG

The Out of the box implementation uses the MD5 encryption algorithm.  Suppose we need to have some other encryption algorithm over MD5. My requirement was to add SHA-256 over the already encrypted value with MD5. The following are the changes I had done to get it done.

The component which does the encryption is DigestPasswordHasher. We need to override the encryptPassword() method.

The attached is the code fragment used . The copy and paste of the code seems weird. So I am attaching the file.

See it here.
