Can I change password on different hashing?
by james000 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5NTV7)
Hi,
I have NIS master server on RHEL 7.6. It is using SHA512 as hashing algorithm by default. The users which are created on SHA512, are not able to login to a Solaris 10 with "Sun_SSH_1.1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0". It gives segmentation fault. But some users were migrated from old NIS and those passwords are short (not SHA512).
Now, there is a requirement of one user needs access to this old Solaris 10 server. This user was created recently, so its password is SHA512. Is there anyway, I can reset his password on RHEL NIS master server, with older hashing?
I don't want to change default behavior of NIS server, for all users.
Please suggest.
Thanks
