JDBC Realm and new Password Encryption Algorithm field

What is the difference between the digest algorithm property and the
password encryption algorithm property in the JDBC realm setup?

I noticed this buglet: http://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-17796

I did asadmin help create-auth-realm, but it wasn't forthcoming on what
these two properties are for. I know that one of them must be used to hash
passwords when comparing them, but I'm not sure which one, or why there
need to be two of them.

Thanks for any input.

Best,
Laird
