Answer 1

This is an old thread but I ran into the same issue and found a different solution. You can use the UnixCrypt/Md5Crypt classes in the Apache Commons Codec 1.7 library.

For example you can call

UnixCrypt.crypt(string, salt)

OR

Md5Crypt.md5Crypt(byte[], salt)

I haven't looked into the other encryption types but I imagine their are other utilities as well.

• org.apache.commons.codec.digest.UnixCrypt
• org.apache.commons.codec.digest.Md5Crypt
