openssl passwd

compute password hashes 

openssl command

SYNOPSIS

openssl passwd [-help] [-1] [-apr1] [-aixmd5] [-5] [-6] [-salt string] [-in file] [-noverify] [-stdin] [-quiet] [-table] [-reverse] [-rand files] [-writerand file] [-provider name] [-provider-path path] [-propquery propq] {password}

DESCRIPTION

The openssl passwd command computes the hash of a password typed at run-time or the hash of each password in a list. The password list is taken from the named file for option -in file, from stdin for option -stdin, or from the command line, or from the terminal otherwise. The UNIX standard algorithm crypt() and the MD5-based BSD password algorithm 1 and its Apache variant apr1, and its AIX variant are available.

Options

-help 

Print out a usage message.

-1 

uses the MD5 based BSD password algorithm 1.

-apr1 

uses the apr1 algorithm (Apache variant of the BSD algorithm).

-aixmd5 

Use the AIX MD5 algorithm (AIX variant of the BSD algorithm).

-5 
-6 

Use the SHA256 / SHA512 based algorithms defined by Ulrich Drepper. See SHA-crypt.txt.

-salt string 

uses the specified salt. When reading a password from the terminal, this implies -noverify.

-in file 

reads passwords from file.

-stdin 

reads passwords from stdin.

-noverify 

Don't verify when reading a password from the terminal.

-quiet 

does not output warnings when passwords given at the command line are truncated.

-table 

in the output list, prepends the cleartext password and a TAB character to each password hash.

-reverse 

When the -table is used, reverse the order of cleartext and hash.

-rand files 
-writerand file 

See Random State Options in openssl for details.

-provider name 
-provider-path path 
-propquery propq 

See Provider Options in openssl for details.

EXAMPLES

openssl passwd -1 -salt xxxxxxxx password
