Secondary Salt
Types
Specifies the salt type for a principal. A Salt
is a string of characters added to a password
before it is transformed into the secret key.
Each salt type, except None, has some data
associated with it. The salt data is appended
to the password before generating the DES3 or
DES encrypted key. The salt key settings are
controlled through the Password tab. Salts
are used to strengthen passwords and to
ensure that principals with the same
passwords do not have the same key.
