31 Koha::AuthUtils - utility routines for authentication
33 =head1 SYNOPSIS
35 use Koha::AuthUtils qw/hash_password/;

38 =head1 DESCRIPTION
40 This module provides utility functions related to managing
41 user passwords.

69 =over
71 =item strength
73 For general password salting a C<$strength> of C<weak> is recommend,
74 For generating a server-salt a C<$strength> of C<strong> is recommended
76 'strong' uses /dev/random which may block until sufficient entropy is acheived.
77 'weak' uses /dev/urandom and is non-blocking.
79 =item length
81 C<$length> is a positive integer which specifies the desired length of the returned string
