Ensure pwd_algorithm is configured

MoyenneNiveau 1Automatiséeaix

Description

Defines the loadable password algorithm used when storing user passwords. A development since AIX 5.1 was the ability to use different password algorithms as defined in /etc/security/pwdalg.cfg. The traditional UNIX password algorithm is crypt, which is a one-way hash function supporting only 8 character passwords. Audit: reads `lssec -f /etc/security/login.cfg -s usw -a pwd_algorithm`.

Méthode de vérification

Méthode d'audit: Commande shell

shell

command -v lssec >/dev/null 2>&1 || exit 1; out=$(lssec -f /etc/security/login.cfg -s usw -a pwd_algorithm 2>/dev/null) || exit 1; v=$(printf '%s\n' "$out" | sed -n 's/.*pwd_algorithm=\([^ ]*\).*/\1/p'); if [ "$v" = 'ssha512' ]; then echo compliant; else echo "pwd_algorithm=$v"; fi

Sortie attendue: compliant

Méthode de correction

Méthode de correction: Commande shell

shell

chsec -f /etc/security/login.cfg -s usw -a pwd_algorithm=ssha512
