TL;DR: On installation (any version) the initial login password ignores the password salt set in gsconfig.php. If password salting is required, several additional steps are required.
It is useful to configure/customise the gsconfig.php file locally, before transferring the GS file set to the hosting server ready for installation, especially if editing access is not available on the hosting site, either by shell access or through a control panel.
At present, the installer ignores the password salt setting in gsconfig.php when generating the initial, temporary login password. If a password salt is set, it means that the temporary password will not work without first disabling password salting.
Having disabled password salting and logged in, it is then possible to follow the wiki instructions to enable password salting again.
Would it be possible for the installer to honour the password salt setting, please?
