Tips and tricks: Choosing the password hashing algorithm for /etc/shadow during installation

by Alexander Todorov

This is a new feature that has been requested in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux product line. The supported algorithms are DES, MD5, and SHA-256/512. They will be available after the upcoming updates releases as well as in Rawhide. The new algorithms will be configurable via Kickstart only. Here is the correct code.

DES

authconfig --enableshadow --passalgo=descrypt

rootpw fedora

MD5

authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5

rootpw fedora

or

authconfig --enableshadow --passalgo=md5

rootpw fedora

SHA-256

authconfig --enableshadow --passalgo=sha256

rootpw fedora

SHA-512

authconfig --enableshadow --passalgo=sha512

rootpw fedora
