NAME

       slappw-argon2 - Argon2 password module to slapd

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/ldap/slapd.conf

              moduleload argon2 [<parameters>]

DESCRIPTION

       The  argon2  module  to slapd(8) provides support for the use of the key derivation function Argon2, that
       was selected as the winner of the Password Hashing Competition in  July  2015,  in  hashed  passwords  in
       OpenLDAP.

       It does so by providing the additional password scheme {ARGON2} for use in slapd.

CONFIGURATION

       The  argon2  module  does  not  need  any configuration, but it can be configured by giving the following
       parameters:

       m=<memory>
              Set memory usage to <memory> kiB.

       p=<parallelism>
              Set parallelism to <parallelism> threads. Currently supported only when linked with libargon2.

       t=<iterations>
              Set the number of iterations to <iterations>.

       These replace defaults when preparing hashes for new passwords where possible.

       After loading the module, the password scheme {ARGON2} will be recognised in values of  the  userPassword
       attribute.

       You  can  then instruct OpenLDAP to use this scheme when processing the LDAPv3 Password Modify (RFC 3062)
       extended operations by using the password-hash option in slapd.conf(5):

              password-hash {ARGON2}

   NOTES
       If you want to use the scheme described here with slappasswd(8), remember to load the  module  using  its
       command line options.  The relevant option/value is:

              -o module-load=argon2

       Or if non-default parameters are required:

              -o module-load="argon2 [<param>...]"

       Depending on argon2's location, you may also need:

              -o module-path=pathspec

EXAMPLES

       Both userPassword LDAP attributes below encode the password 'secret' using different salts:

       userPassword: {ARGON2}$argon2i$v=19$m=4096,t=3,p=1$c2FsdHNhbHQ$DKlexoEJUoZTmkAAC3SaMWk30El9/RvVhlqGo6afIng

       userPassword: {ARGON2}$argon2i$v=19$m=4096,t=3,p=1$c2FsdHNhbHRzYWx0$qOCkx9nMeFlaGOO4DUmPDgrlUbgMMuO9T1+vQCFuyzw
