A password can be supplied over SIS as cleartext (bad), MD5 (almost as bad) and SSHA (ok, best option currently supported) however our SSHA implementation is different than that of
slappasswd(8). We need to provide a more detailed description and samples and help.blackboard.com does not seem like the place to do that.There was a request for security best-practices and we wanted to recommend use of SSHA, but we found that there is no documentation and the developer docs seem like the best place to do that.
This change would add a new "SIS" section. I'm not proposing to move all the SIS docs over from help.blackboard.com, but will add 2 pages here, 1 'getting started with SIS' stub page that links to the main help site and the page about how to use the SIS hashes.
