After some digging around in the formats I found that Bartavelle's
salted-sha1 replaces NSLDAPS (ssha) *and* OPENLDAPS (openssha). The same
tag {SSHA} is used and it can use both salt lengths, which is apparently
the only difference between the older ones. I think we should just move
NSLDAPS and OPENLDAPS to unused.
And NSLDAP_fmt (nsldap) is just raw SHA1 with a '{SHA}' tag and using
Base64 instead of hex. I think the best thing to "fix" this format is to
move NSLDAP_fmt to unused and make a new one based on rawSHA1_fmt. I'll
put that on top of my to-do list, it's a one beer job.
Speaking of raw SHA1, I think we should add a tag for that one. In fact
we already have such a tag, namely $dynamic_26$. Like with dynamic, we
should support reading legacy (untagged) hashes from john.pot but always
write tags to new entries.
