NAME
crypt.conf - configuration file for pluggable crypt modules
SYNOPSIS
/etc/security/crypt.conf
DESCRIPTION
crypt.conf is the configuration file for the pluggable crypt
architecture. Each crypt module must provide a function to
generate a password hash, crypt_genhash_impl(3C), and a
function to generate the salt, crypt_gensalt_impl(3C).
There must be at least one entry in crypt.conf with the same
name as is stored in the crypt_algorithm_magic symbol of the
module. The documentation provided with the module should
list this name.
The module_path field specifies the path name to a shared
library object that implements crypt_genhash_impl(),
crypt_gensalt_impl(), and crypt_algorithm_magic. If the
path name is not absolute, it is assumed to be relative to
/usr/lib/security/$ISA. If the path name contains the $ISA
token, the token is replaced by an implementation-defined
directory name that defines the path relative to the calling
program's instruction set architecture.
The params field is used to pass module-specific options to
the shared objects. See crypt_genhash_impl(3C) and
crypt_gensalt_impl(3C). It is the responsibility of the
module to parse and interpret the options. The params field
can be used by the modules to turn on debugging or to pass
any module-specific parameters that control the output of
the hashing algorithm.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Provide compatibility for md5crypt-generated
passwords.
The default configuration preserves previous Solaris
behavior while adding compatibility for md5crypt-generated
passwords as provided on some BSD and Linux systems.
#
# crypt.conf
#
1 /usr/lib/security/$ISA/crypt_bsdmd5.so
Example 2: Use md5crypt to demonstrate compatibility with
BSD- and Linux-based systems.

File Formats crypt.conf(4)
The following example lists 4 algorithms and demonstrates
how compatibility with BSD- and Linux-based systems using
md5crypt is made available, using the algorithm names 1 and
2.
#
# crypt.conf
#
md5 /usr/lib/security/$ISA/crypt_md5.so
rot13 /usr/lib/security/$ISA/crypt_rot13.so
# For *BSD/Linux compatibilty
# 1 is md5, 2 is Blowfish
1 /usr/lib/security/$ISA/crypt_bsdmd5.so
2 /usr/lib/security/$ISA/crypt_bsdbf.so
