How do I generate crypted passwords for the user module?
|
||||
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
||||
|
||||
Crypted password values can be generated as follows::
|
||||
The mkpasswd utility that is available on most Linux systems is a great option::
|
||||
|
||||
openssl passwd -salt <salt> -1 <plaintext>
|
||||
mkpasswd --method=SHA-512
|
||||
|
||||
If this utility is not installed on your system (e.g. you are using OS X) then you can still easily
|
||||
generate these passwords using Python. First, ensure that the `Passlib <https://code.google.com/p/passlib/>`_
|
||||
password hashing library is installed.
|
||||
|
||||
pip install passlib
|
||||
|
||||
Once the library is ready, SHA512 password values can then be generated as follows::
|
||||
|
||||
python -c "from passlib.hash import sha512_crypt; print sha512_crypt.encrypt('<password>')"
