We were using Red hat and then migrated to the cloud servers on Ubuntu. The current Red Hat implementation of the password encryption uses the crypt() method with a generated salt. On the Red Hat server the method uses the md5 algorithm to generate passwords and the constant values are: CRYPT_SALT_LENGTH - 12 CRYPT_STD_DES - 1 CRYPT_EXT_DES - 0 CRYPT_MD5 - 1 CRYPT_BLOWFISH - 0
For example, the generated password of the string 'admin' was $1$BOqLtPNm$CnzfaoymJGNvotH7ZPoqB/ - all hash values begin $1$, then 8 characters, then a $ sign. On the Ubuntu setup, it seems that the Standard DES algorithm is always used. Any ideas how to force the use of md5? In theory this is based on the length of the supplied salt, but it doesn't seem to work. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "scalr-discuss" group.
