The
provides a mechanism for encoding user passwords using a salted form
of the MD5 message digest algorithm.
This scheme contains an implementation for the user password syntax,
with a storage scheme name of "SMD5", and an implementation of the
auth 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.
