RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: 389-ds-base-1.3.6.1-5.el7
Doc Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
Directory Server now uses the *SSHA_512* password storage scheme as default Previously, Directory Server used the weak 160-bit salted secure hash algorithm (SSHA) as default password storage scheme set in the "passwordStorageScheme" and "nsslapd-rootpwstoragescheme" parameters in the "cn=config" entry. To increase security, the default of both parameters has been changed to the strong 512-bit SSHA scheme (SSHA_512). The new default is used: * When performing new Directory Server installations. * When the "passwordStorageScheme" parameter is not set, and you are updating passwords stored in "userPassword" attributes. * When the "nsslapd-rootpwstoragescheme" parameter is not set, and you are updating the Directory Server manager password set in the "nsslapd-rootpw" attribute.

#### Issue Description

Need to update the default password storage scheme
Comment 8 Robert Krátký 2017-04-24 09:42:25 UTC 
Fixed some minor mark-up and lang. oversights.
Comment 9 Viktor Ashirov 2017-05-16 14:40:14 UTC 
Build tested:
389-ds-base-1.3.6.1-13.el7.x86_64

Default values on a newly created instance:
$ ldapsearch -xLLL -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123  -b cn=config  -s base nsslapd-rootpwstoragescheme  passwordStorageScheme
dn: cn=config
nsslapd-rootpwstoragescheme: SSHA512
passwordStorageScheme: SSHA512

DM's password is hashed correctly with SSHA512:

$ ldapsearch -xLLL -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123  -b cn=config -o ldif-wrap=no -s base nsslapd-rootpw 
dn: cn=config
nsslapd-rootpw: {SSHA512}Y1zlqxavRZb2ZOZFHV6orR7GNtbTqhfb0+itgkSkEGtV/qOgwsOBHzL5foVL5RIIwWzdbeL1EWJ93gLsu0uU/sZHo7fOUuPv

User's password is hashed correctly with SSHA512:

$ ldapsearch -xLLL -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123  -b dc=example,dc=com -o ldif-wrap=no '(cn=tuser)' userPassword | un64ldif 
dn: cn=tuser,dc=example,dc=com
userPassword: {SSHA512}O+5pFFILBlnLxJfBBHZTYvHtXSAa/kBUDg7+yEwPh76KwX+EOJPRD5z0o9j958GCvwXu5ddhjnvNyunYD8Tv95wQnaF6Qwq+
