Endre Kovacs commented on RANGER-1644: -------------------------------------- Hi [~bosco] # no, user passwors are *not* affected by this code change, only service user's passwords. AFAIK regular, non-service user passwords are only hashed by org.apache.ranger.biz.UserMgr.encrypt(String, String) # un-affected # Other places this decryption is taking place (besides the already mentioned service create and service update) are: * various places at ranger plugins: ** org.apache.ranger.plugin.client.BaseClient.login() to obtain loginSubject if kerberos is used ** to programmatically log in using HTTPBasicAuth from ranger plugins (eg.: AtlasClient#getStatusResponse, KnoxClient#getTopologyList, ServiceSolarClient#getCollection|Cores|FieldsList) to GET|POST plugin specific data from the given component's rest api for a complete list of affected places, see usage of method org.apache.ranger.plugin.util.PasswordUtils.decryptPassword(String) Best regards, Endre > Change the default Crypt Algo to use stronger cryptographic algo. > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: RANGER-1644 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-1644 > Project: Ranger > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Ranger > Reporter: Selvamohan Neethiraj > Assignee: Endre Kovacs > Priority: Critical > Attachments: > 0001-RANGER-1644-replacing-MD5-DES-with-SHA512-AES128.patch > > > Change the default crypt algorithm to use a stronger cipher algorithm -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
