How to set password hashing algorithm to sha512 in suse linux enterprise server 10 and 11.
Hi saravanak,
How to set password hashing algorithm to sha512 in suse linux enterprise server 10 and 11
I believe that SLES10 only supports des, md5 and blowfish.
For SLES11, you can change the cipher via yast in “Security and Users” - “Security Center and Hardening” - “Password Settings” - “Password Encryption Method” by selecting “SHA-512”.
Depending on your authentication setup (i.e. when using a centralized password store like NIS) you’ll have to make sure all your systems will support the selected hashing algorithm.
