Solaris 8 MD5 encryption support

Hi,

I did some NIS migration tests recently.
The target is to migrate the NIS server from Solaris 8 to Redhat Linux 6.5.
And, I found there are encryption issues while Linux NIS using MD5 hashing password for authentication whereas Solaris 8 clients using DES encryption.

It causes issues that I can't log in Solaris 8 clients for NIS user authentication.
I know Solaris 8 doesn't support MD5 encryption, and there are ways to downgrade Linux NIS encryption to DES to support Solaris 8 connection, but that's not the way I like.

Is there any way to make Solaris 8 support MD5 encryption?
I search some articles online refering to the possiblity to implement it, but no details about how to do.

Thanks.

Solaris 8 doesn't support MD5. Either downgrade Linux NIS to DES or switch to LDAP. The latter might prove complex as Solaris 8 is a last century OS...

Hi Jlliarge,

Thank you for response. I know Solaris 8 is pretty old, there is nothing I can choose. We have some off-maintenance tool license servers have to be setup on the Solaris system.
