What hashing function is used for passwords?
I'm working on a secure client hardening system for Open Dental and I'm writing it in Python. I believe I can construct a launcher with a server side component that will allow me to better secure access to the database credentials. I'd like to integrate this with Open Dentals existing password system and to do so I need to correctly hash client side passwords for verification. If it isn't too much to ask, would be possible for someone close to the project to briefly explain the algorithm used (MD5, SHA) and if a salt is added?

It's MD5, hold the salt (hehe). You can check it out for yourself in our source code: Userods.EncryptPassword()
I'm assuming you want the non-eCW algorithm.

The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.
