set password-storage Command

The set password-storage command lets you select a hashing method for passwords stored in the directory.

This command has the following format:

set password-storage = sha-1 | md5 | ssha-1 | crypt | none;

• sha-1

  (Default) Hashes the password using the SHA-1 algorithm

• md5

  Hashes the password using the Message Digest algorithm

• ssha-1

  Hashes the password using the Salted SHA-1 algorithm. This algorithm produces a different hash even for the same clear text password, which is more secure.

• crypt

  Hashes the password using the UNIX crypt method.

• none

  Passwords are not hashed. This should only be used for testing.
