| 8 | <span><strong class="command">authpasswd</strong></span> is a helper utility that generated encrypted |
| 9 | passwords for the |
| 10 | Courier authentication library. |
| 11 | The Courier authentication library is capable of using several different |
| 12 | encryption methods for storing passwords. |
| 13 | <span><strong class="command">authpasswd</strong></span> issues a password prompt. |
| 14 | Enter the same password twice (for verification purposes). |
| 15 | <span><strong class="command">authpasswd</strong></span> computes and prints the encrypted password. |
| 16 | The encrypted password can be inserted verbatim into the appropriate |
| 17 | account record that's processed by the authentication library's |
| 18 | <code class="literal">authmysql</code>, |
| 19 | <code class="literal">authpgsql</code>, |
| 20 | or <code class="literal">authldap</code> module.</p><p> |
| 21 | <em class="replaceable"><code>method</code></em> may be set to one of the following |
| 22 | literals:</p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">crypt</span></dt><dd><p> |
| 23 | Use the traditional <acronym class="acronym">DES</acronym>-based encrypted password.</p></dd><dt><span class="term">md5</span></dt><dd><p> |
| 24 | Compute an <acronym class="acronym">MD5</acronym> password hash.</p></dd><dt><span class="term">sha1</span></dt><dd><p> |
| 25 | Compute a <acronym class="acronym">SHA1</acronym> password hash.</p></dd><dt><span class="term">sha256</span></dt><dd><p> |
| 26 | Compute a <acronym class="acronym">SHA256</acronym> password hash.</p></dd></dl></div><p> |
| 27 | If not specified, |
| 28 | <em class="replaceable"><code>method</code></em> defaults to the |
| 29 | modified-<acronym class="acronym">MD5</acronym> password encryption algorithm that's used |
| 30 | in Linux (note that this is different from the “<span class="quote">md5</span>” password |
| 31 | hash method).</p></div></div></body></html> |
