The Hash Salt
Kartris uses a process called hashing to scramble passwords within the database. To ensure that each Kartris store scrambles these in a unique way, we generate a random code during installation which is used during the hashing process. In this way, the same password stored on two different Kartris installations will be hashed into a completely different value.
We recommend using the default random value generated unless you are setting up a store to use existing data that was hashed already with another hash salt value.
