QA/TestCases/ShadowPasswordSHA256
Description
This test case will verify that the SHA-256 algorithm is used to produce the password hashes in /etc/shadow. The default will be SHA-512 and it will not be configurable in the UI. Use kickstart to specify which algorithm to use.
Steps To Reproduce
- Start and installation using any available means
- Provide ks.cfg file with the password settings
- Finish the installation
Expected Results
- Install completes without error
- The system boots into runlevel 3
- /etc/shadow is present
- There is an entry looking like:
root:$5$hRk.l8NWEY8iZuZ2$T/tkh0Fuh4m2oh8JMBbFuliro.Gox46Mo9w9WIVwmqC:13933:0:99999:7:::
$5$ indicates SHA-256
Automation
Use ks.cfg below. Change with the relevant server/tree values.
