Passwords that are encrypted using a hardcoded key:  
* for passwords in the configuration store starting with "$1" the encrypted password is all after the last "$"  
* the password can be decrypted using: echo [encrypted password] | openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -md sha1 -base64 -nosalt -k "NGJkODg1ZGE1NDhhY2ZhY2VmYjM0MDIzZjA0M2YzNTY="
