NAME

       authpasswd - Generate login passwords

SYNOPSIS

       authpasswd [method]

DESCRIPTION

       authpasswd is a helper utility that generates encrypted passwords for the Courier authentication library. The Courier authentication
       library is capable of using several different encryption methods for storing passwords.	authpasswd issues a password prompt. Enter the
       same password twice (for verification purposes).  authpasswd computes and prints the encrypted password. The encrypted password can be
       inserted verbatim into the appropriate account record that's processed by the authentication library's authmysql, authpgsql, or authldap
       module.

       method may be set to one of the following literals:

       crypt
	   Use the traditional DES-based encrypted password.

       md5
	   Compute a base64-encoded MD5 password hash.

       md5raw
	   Compute a hexadecimal-encoded MD5 password hash.

       sha1
	   Compute a SHA1 password hash.

       ssha
	   Compute a salted SHA1 password hash.

       sha256
	   Compute a SHA256 password hash.

       If not specified, method defaults to the modified-MD5 password encryption algorithm that's used in Linux (note that this is different from
       the "md5" password hash method).

NAME

       radcrypt - generate password hash for use with radius, or validates a password hash

SYNOPSIS

       radcrypt [-d|--des] [-m|--md5] [-c|--check] plaintext_password [hashed_password]

DESCRIPTION

       radcrypt  generates  a  hashed digest of a plaintext password, or can validate if a password hash matches a plaintext password. DES and MD5
       hashes are currently supported. When generating a password hash a random salt is generated and applied.

       A hashed password can be validated by specifying -c or --check and passing hashed_password after plaintext_password on  the  command  line.
       In this case hashed_password will be checked to see if it matches plaintext_password. If so "Password OK" will be printed and the exit sta-
       tus will be 1, otherwise "Password BAD" will be printed and exit status will be 0 (Note this is the opposite of a normal  successful  shell
       status).

OPTIONS

       -d --des
	      Use a DES (Data Encryption Standard) hash (default).  Ignored if performing a password check.

       -m --md5
	      Use a MD5 (Message Digest 5) hash.  Ignored if performing a password check.

       -c --check
	      Perform a validation check on a password hash to verify if it matches the plantext password.

EXAMPLES

       $ radcrypt foobar
       HaX0xn7Qy650Q
       $ radcrypt -c foobar HaX0xn7Qy650Q
       Password OK
