Here is an example of the perl code I used to create the password.

<snip>
my $password = 'thepassword';
use Digest::SHA1;
use MIME::Base64;
my $ctx = Digest::SHA1->new;
$ctx->add($password);
$ctx->add('salt');
my $hashedPasswd = '{SSHA}' . encode_base64($ctx->digest . 'salt' ,'');
</snip>

i.e: the way not to do it.
