HP UX Identity Security Software Postal address string syntax plug-in, Password storage plugins

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

Storage scheme name	Usage notes
CLEAR	This encryption method is required for using SASL/DIGEST-MD5.
CRYPT	This storage scheme is not very secure and is included only for compatibility with
	legacy servers and to allow migration.
DES	This encryption scheme is used only for reversible encryption and is available for
	certain plug-ins; this is not intended for password storage.
MD5	This storage scheme is not very secure and is included only for compatibility with
	legacy servers and to allow migration.
NS-MTA-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.
SHA	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.
SHA256	Use SHA256 or higher to encrypt passwords because these are stronger encryption
	schemes.
SHA384	This storage scheme is recommended for password storage because of its strength.
SHA512	This storage scheme is recommended for password storage because of its strength.
SSHA	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.
SSHA256	Use SSHA256 or higher to encrypt passwords because these are stronger encryption
	schemes.
SSHA384	This storage scheme is recommended for password storage because of its strength.
SSHA512	This storage scheme is recommended for password storage because of its strength.
