Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

Description mreynolds 2022-08-02 15:50:38 UTC
Description of problem:

The number of rounds the default storage schemes uses is well below the current recommended minimum (2,048 vs 10,000)

There is a discussion from the upstream ticket going into more detail here:

https://github.com/389ds/389-ds-base/issues/5356

One option is to make the default password storage scheme the Rust one which does use 10,000 rounds but does not suffer from the performance impact that the NSS plugin has:

    cn=PBKDF2-SHA256,cn=Password Storage Schemes,cn=plugins,cn=config (NSS version)

to:
    
    cn=PBKDF2_SHA256,cn=Password Storage Schemes,cn=plugins,cn=config (Rust/openssl version which is much faster)

This would require Rust by default, and might impact other linux distributions.

For older versions of DS (RHEL 8, etc).  We might need to make the PBKDF rounds configurable (non-rust/NSS plugin) so people can bump it up if desired.

Comment 5 Simon Pichugin 2023-02-02 22:28:46 UTC
The build is tested for both FIPS and non-FIPS mods.

Manually (Password Storage Scheme is used - PBKDF2-SHA512):
