ssha

We'd like to switch Identity Provider (and Web Access Manager), and also the user directory we use, but would like to do so without users needing to change their password.

We currently have the SSHA of the passwords.

I'm expecting to write code to perform the migration. I don't mind how complex the code has to be, rather my concern is whether such a migration is possible at all.

MS Active Directory would be our preferred user store, but I believe that it can not have new users set up in it with a particular password hash. Is that correct?

What user directory stores can be populated with users already set up with a SSHA password?

What Identity Provider and Access Management products work with those stores?
