Hi,
  I don't think it matters what you set for a SSHA salt (seed) value on 
the OL side.

  SHA salts only serve the purpose of ensuring that two hashes of 
identical data yield different output. Validating two hashes of 
identical data will succeed, even if they were generated with different 
salts, and thus look different.
