when encoding it. This password manager is compatible with passwords
used in LDAP databases.
+* CryptPasswordManager - A manager implementing the crypt(3) hashing scheme.
+ Only available if the python crypt module is installed. This is a legacy

+* MySQLPasswordManager - A manager implementing the digest scheme as

It is strongly recommended to use SSHAPasswordManager, as it's the
most secure.
