    Description

      In XWIKI-5261 we have added password salting. However, for increased security a couple of people have proposed adding a second layer of salting for passwords, using a secret salt stored in a configuration file (xwiki.preferences).

      See more details in the comments of XWIKI-5261 (requires special privileges).
