Hashing Formats for the DSA Console Password

The DSA console password can be hashed using the following formats:

SHA

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

SSHA

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.

SHA512

Hashes the password using the SHA-512 algorithm.

SSHA512

Hashes the password using the Salted SHA-512 algorithm. This algorithm produces a different hash even for the same clear text password, which is more secure.

MD5

Hashes the password using the Message Digest algorithm.

SMD5

Hashes the password using the Salted Message Digest algorithm.

CRYPT

Hashes the password using the UNIX crypt method.
