Goal

When using property editor to generate encrypted passwords, different propertyeditor tools are generating two different encrypted passwords when inputting the same value.

Using propertyeditor from Sites 11.1.1.6.1 : baa802444af25733a47c944df1156a33b2899d9ffcccad2e
Using propertyeditor from Sites 11.1.1.8.0 : {AES}88A21D9353F9BDDCD80751A90800F620

When the customer uses the value from v11.1.1.8.0 to overwrite the encryped password on WebCenter Sites v11.1.1.6.1 the below exception is written to sites.log during publishing

[ERROR] [.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'] [fatwire.logging.cs.framework] error: errno -2 on attempt to login
[INFO ] [.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'] [fatwire.logging.cs.xml] ProcessQueue: Could not log in with the xcelerate.batchuser and xcelerate.batchpass
[ERROR] [.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'] [fatwire.logging.cs.framework] error: errno -2 on attempt to login
