Configuring User Password Hashing
The procedure in this topic describes how to configure user password hashing. This task is a step in Process of Configuring User and Credentials Password Hashing. To implement user password hashing
- For each user, create and record a username and a password.
- To hash one or more passwords, run the hashpwd.exe utility at a command prompt. For command syntax options, see Running the Password Hashing Utility.
- For each user, do one of the following:
- Using Siebel Server Manager, configure the security adapter for user password hashing.
- For the database security adapter (typically, DBSecAdpt):
- Set the DataSourceName parameter to the name of the applicable data source (for example, ServerDataSrc).
- For the applicable data source, set the DSHashUserPwd parameter to
TRUE .
- For the applicable data source, set the DSHashAlgorithm parameter to
RSASHA1 (this is the default value) or SIEBELHASH (the Siebel proprietary algorithm).
- For the LDAP or ADSI security adapter (typically, LDAPSecAdpt or ADSISecAdpt):
- Set the HashUserPwd parameter to TRUE.
- Set the HashAlgorithm parameter to RSASHA1 (this is the default value) or SIEBELHASH (the Siebel proprietary algorithm).
- Provide each user with the username and the clear-text password for logging in.
