Password encoding

[Paula Carboné]

Hi, regarding the following lines of the user-mapping.xml file:

    <authorize
            username="guacadmin"
            password="96080775c113b0e5c3e32bdd26214aec"
            encoding="md5">

Is it possible to use a different encoding (apart from MD5) for the
password? I have tried with sha256 and sha512 but it does not seem to work.
