HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 configuration, command, and file reference

For more information on using the different password storage schemes, see the "User Account
Management" chapter in the HP-UX Directory Server administrator guide
CAUTION:
Do not modify the configuration of the password scheme plug-ins. HP recommends leaving
these plug-ins running at all times.
Table 3-3 Password storage plugins
Usage notesStorage scheme name
This encryption method is required for using SASL/DIGEST-MD5.CLEAR
This storage scheme is not very secure and is included only for compatibility with
legacy servers and to allow migration.
CRYPT
This encryption scheme is used only for reversible encryption and is available for
certain plug-ins; this is not intended for password storage.
DES
This storage scheme is not very secure and is included only for compatibility with
legacy servers and to allow migration.
MD5
The NS-MTA-MD5 password storage scheme cannot be used to encrypt passwords.
The storage scheme is still present for backward compatibility for any entries stored
in the directory with passwords encrypted with the NS-MTA-MD5 password storage
scheme.
NS-MTA-MD5
If there are no passwords encrypted using the SHA password storage scheme, this
plug-in can be turned off.
Instead of encrypting passwords with the SHA password storage scheme, HP
recommends choosing SSHA instead because it is more secure.
SHA
Use SHA256 or higher to encrypt passwords because these are stronger encryption
schemes.
SHA256
This storage scheme is recommended for password storage because of its strength.SHA384
This storage scheme is recommended for password storage because of its strength.SHA512
This is recommended instead of SHA because it is a stronger encryption screen.
However, HP recommends using at least the SSHA256 storage scheme or higher
because these are stronger schemes.
SSHA
Use SSHA256 or higher to encrypt passwords because these are stronger encryption
schemes.
SSHA256
This storage scheme is recommended for password storage because of its strength.SSHA384
This storage scheme is recommended for password storage because of its strength.SSHA512
