Description Kurt Seifried 2014-06-10 19:30:52 UTC 
It is reported that cfme contains a default salt value:

lib/util/miq-password.rb

     def initialize(str=nil, enc_alg=nil, key=nil, iv=nil)
        @enc_alg = enc_alg || @@enc_alg || "AES-128-CBC"
        @key     = key     || @@key     || "1234567890123456"
        @iv      = iv      || @@iv      || "6543210987654321"
        @encStr  = nil

This negates the value of having a salt function with respect to password storage.
