Crypt Password Storage Scheme

Note: this component is designated "advanced", which means that objects of this type are not expected to be created or altered in most environments. If you believe that such a change is necessary, you may want to contact UnboundID support in order to understand the potential impact of that change.

The Crypt Password Storage Scheme provides a mechanism for encoding user passwords using the UNIX crypt algorithm.

This implementation contains only an implementation for the user password syntax, with a storage scheme name of "CRYPT". Even though it is a one-way digest, the Crypt Password Storage Scheme is relatively weak by today's standards. Because it supports only a 12-bit salt (meaning that there are only 4096 possible ways to encode a given password), it is also vulnerable to dictionary attacks. You should therefore use this storage scheme only in cases where an external application expects to retrieve the password and verify it outside of the Directory Proxy Server, rather than by performing an LDAP bind.

dsconfig Usage

To list the configured Password Storage Schemes:

dsconfig list-password-storage-schemes
     [--property {propertyName}] ...

To view the configuration for an existing Password Storage Scheme:

dsconfig get-password-storage-scheme-prop
     --scheme-name {name}
     [--tab-delimited]
     [--script-friendly]
     [--property {propertyName}] ...

To update the configuration for an existing Password Storage Scheme:

dsconfig set-password-storage-scheme-prop
     --scheme-name {name}
     (--set|--add|--remove) {propertyName}:{propertyValue}
     [(--set|--add|--remove) {propertyName}:{propertyValue}] ...

To create a new Crypt Password Storage Scheme:

dsconfig create-password-storage-scheme
     --scheme-name {name}
     --type crypt
     --set enabled:{propertyValue}
     [--set {propertyName}:{propertyValue}] ...

To delete an existing Password Storage Scheme:

dsconfig delete-password-storage-scheme
     --scheme-name {name}
