The
provides a mechanism for encoding user passwords using an unsalted
form of the MD5 message digest algorithm. Because the implementation
does not use any kind of salting mechanism, a given password always
has the same encoded form.
This scheme contains only an implementation for the user password
syntax, with a storage scheme name of "MD5". Although the MD5 digest
algorithm is relatively secure, recent cryptanalysis work has
identified mechanisms for generating MD5 collisions. This does not
impact the security of this algorithm as it is used in ,
but it is recommended that the MD5 password storage scheme only be used if
client applications require it for compatibility purposes, and that a
stronger digest like SSHA or SSHA256 be used for environments in which
MD5 support is not required.
