Why didn't you just say so? :) As you can see, thanks to this patch it's much 
easier to use "upgrade" the hashing method if you want.

Well thanks let me try this one also but the source that I got doesn’t have 
this passwordhash.java code file. Is this hash code file from DSpace 3 sources 
or from same 1.8.2. I think I downloaded 1.8.2 version of dspace 1 week back 
but I can’t find this file there. What does this website do is this for those 
people who fixes the bugs or mods, secondly is it safe enough to use code files 
uploaded here.

 

The DSpace/DSpace repository on GitHub is now the official place where we keep 
the source code, so yes, it is safe.

 

You're right, João pointed you to the master branch, which will become DSpace 
3.0 soon (this month). I recommend you to work with this branch because of that 
hashing+salting patch which was not available in 1.8. I'm sure that before you 
have your changes ready, there will be a release, so you could start with 3.0.

If you still prefer to work with 1.8.2, I strongly recommend you to apply the 
patch (the link I sent you).
