I've also posted this problem on StackOverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9437897/glassfish-3-1-2s-jdbcrealm-has-a-new-password-encryption-algorithm-field-what

In working today to understand these properties, I also noticed that
JDBCRealm.java is not where I expected it to be found:
http://java.net/projects/glassfish/sources/svn/show/trunk/main/nucleus/security/core/src/main/java/com/sun/enterprise/security/auth/realm/jdbc?rev=52693(note
the directory is empty). My copy of Glassfish's source code, which I
updated from subversion today, has two prior copies under /v3 and /v2;
neither (as I would expect) references the new password encryption
algorithm property at all.

Thanks,
Best,
Laird
