PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512T256 Password Storage Scheme (LEGACY)
|
LEGACY since 8.0.0: The key truncation used is non-standard. Alternative: A strong hash-based scheme such as PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512. |
The PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512T256 Password Storage Scheme provides a mechanism for encoding user passwords using the PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512T256 message digest algorithm.
This scheme contains an implementation for the user password syntax, with a storage scheme name of "PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512T256". The derived key is truncated at 256 bits in a non-standard way, and is only recommended for use when interoperating with other systems requiring this behavior.

pbkdf2-iterations
Synopsis |
The number of algorithm iterations to make. |
Description |
By default, changes to this setting impact only newly created and updated passwords. However, if the rehash-policy is set to always or only-increase, it causes the server to recalculate each user’s password hash on their next authentication, and write the new hash to the user’s entry on disk. Changing the number of iterations therefore leads to a short-term spike in CPU and disk use as the server updates each user’s password when they next authenticate. Longer term, increasing this settings results in more secure passwords at the expense of longer response times and lower throughput. |
Default value |
10000 |
Allowed values |
An integer. Lower limit: 1. |

rehash-policy
Synopsis |
Indicates whether the server should rehash passwords after the cost has been changed. |
Description |
Passwords will be rehashed when a user successfully authenticates. Note that rehashing will increase the write load on the server. |
