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 | ssha-1 | sha-512 | ssha-512 | crypt | md5 | smd5 | none;
sha-1

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

sha-512

Hashes the password using the SHA-512 algorithm

ssha-512

Hashes the password using the Salted SHA-512 algorithm

crypt

Hashes the password using the UNIX crypt method.

md5

Hashes the password using the Message Digest algorithm

smd5

Hashes the password using the Salted Message Digest algorithm

none

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