Full Discussion: Decrypt ssha1 password
Operating Systems AIX Decrypt ssha1 password Post 302928902 by omonoiatis9 on Tuesday 16th of December 2014 05:37:45 AM

well the thing is that users are not in my company. there are users that connect to the server that are located in other offices. also i read that in sha1 encryption even if a user has the same password with someone else it does not have the same encryption code in /etc/security/passwd. so even if i initialize this password to another user i will not get the same hash on my /etc/security/passwd file. i know you are probably right about CAPSLOCK etc but it is so frustrating to arguing with somebody on the phone trying to explain that they do something wrong and yet they insist that they do everything correct.
