| Requirements | Programatic code to encrypt a password must be created concurrently with any additional hash types specified here. See LDAP.php for currently supported types. |
| Operation | An encrypted password will be stored in the database only when defined and enabled on this form. Clear-text passwords are not stored or available. Enabling a hash only affects password changes after the point in time when a hash is enabled. Because passwords are not stored in clear-text it is not possible to create additional hashes until the password is re-stated (it doesn't need changed, but does need to be supplied again). Most services authenticating via LDAP do not rely on a specific type of password encryption. Windows and Samba are an exception, however; if use of LDAP with Windows systems is anticipated, the Samba LM:NT password should be enabled. |
