NAME

slapd-pw-pbkdf2 - PBKDF2 password module to slapd

SYNOPSIS

ETCDIR/slapd.conf

moduleload pw-pbkdf2

DESCRIPTION

The pw-pbkdf2 module to slapd(8) provides support for the use of the key stretching function PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2) following RFC 2898 in hashed passwords in OpenLDAP.

It does so by providing the following additional password schemes for use in slapd:

{PBKDF2}
alias to {PBKDF2-SHA1}
{PBKDF2-SHA1}
PBKDF2 using HMAC-SHA-1 as the underlying pseudorandom function
{PBKDF2-SHA256}
PBKDF2 using HMAC-SHA-256 as the underlying pseudorandom function
{PBKDF2-SHA512}
PBKDF2 using HMAC-SHA-512 as the underlying pseudorandom function

CONFIGURATION

The pw-pbkdf2 module does not need any configuration.

After loading the module, the password schemes {PBKDF2}, {PBKDF2-SHA1}, {PBKDF2-SHA256}, and {PBKDF2-SHA512} will be recognised in values of the userPassword attribute.

You can then instruct OpenLDAP to use these schemes when processing the LDAPv3 Password Modify (RFC 3062) extended operations by using the password-hash option in slapd.conf(5).

NOTES

If you want to use the schemes described here with slappasswd(8), remember to load the module using its command line options. The relevant option/value is:

-o module-load=pw-pbkdf2

Depending on pw-pbkdf2's location, you may also need:

-o module-path=pathspec

EXAMPLES

All of the userPassword LDAP attributes below encode the password 'secret'.

userPassword: {PBKDF2-SHA512}10000$/oQ4xZi382mk7kvCd3ZdkA$2wqjpuyV2l0U/a1QwoQPOtlQL.UcJGNACj1O24balruqQb/NgPW6OCvvrrJP8.SzA3/5iYvLnwWPzeX8IK/bEQ
userPassword: {PBKDF2-SHA256}10000$jq40ImWtmpTE.aYDYV1GfQ$mpiL4ui02ACmYOAnCjp/MI1gQk50xLbZ54RZneU0fCg
userPassword: {PBKDF2-SHA1}10000$QJTEclnXgh9Cz3ChCWpdAg$9.s98jwFJM.NXJK9ca/oJ5AyoAQ

To make {PBKDF2-SHA512} the password hash used in Password Modify extended operations, simply set this line in slapd.conf(5):

password-hash   {PBKDF2-SHA512}
