.SH NAME
crypt.conf \- configuration file for pluggable crypt modules
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
/etc/security/crypt.conf
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
\fBcrypt.conf\fR is the configuration file for the pluggable crypt architecture. Each crypt module must provide a function to generate a password hash, \fBcrypt_genhash_impl\fR(3C), and a function to generate the salt, \fBcrypt_gensalt_impl\fR(3C).
.sp
.LP
The \fBmodule_path\fR field specifies the pathname to a shared library object that implements \fBcrypt_genhash_impl()\fR and \fBcrypt_gensalt_impl()\fR. If the pathname is not absolute, it is assumed to be relative to \fB/usr/lib/security/$ISA\fR. If the pathname contains the \fB$ISA\fR token, the token is replaced by an implementation-defined directory name that defines the path relative to the calling program's instruction set architecture.
.sp
.LP
The third field is used to pass module-specific options to the shared objects. See \fBcrypt_genhash_impl\fR(3C) and \fBcrypt_gensalt\fR(3C). It is the responsibility of the module to parse and interpret the options. The params field can be used by the modules to turn on debugging or to pass any module-specific parameters that control the output of the hashing algorithm
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
\fBExample 1 \fRIncreasing the Work Factor
.sp
.LP
The following example increases the work factor to 12 for the \fBcrypt_bsdbf\fR(5) module.

.sp
.in +2
.nf
2a /usr/lib/security/$ISA/crypt_bsdbf.so 12
.fi
.in -2

.LP
\fBExample 2 \fRSetting the Rounds
.sp
.LP
The following example sets the rounds for the \fBcrypt_sunmd5\fR(5) module:

.sp
.in +2
.nf
md5 /usr/lib/security/$ISA/crypt_sunmd5.so rounds=2000
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.LP
\fBExample 3 \fRUsing the Default \fB/etc/security/crypt.conf\fR
