public void setDigest ( String connectionID , String password ) { setDigest ( StringUtils . hash ( connectionID + password ) ) ; }

The digest is the hex - encoded SHA - 1 hash of the connection ID plus the user s password . If the digest and password are set digest authentication will be used . If only one value is set the respective authentication mode will be used .
