NAME
openssl-passwd, passwd - compute password hashes
SYNOPSIS
openssl passwd [-help] [-crypt] [-1] [-apr1] [-aixmd5] [-5] [-6] [-salt string] [-in file] [-stdin] [-noverify] [-quiet] [-table] [-rand file...] [-writerand file] {password}
DESCRIPTION
The 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, its Apache variant apr1, and its AIX variant are available.
OPTIONS
- -help
-
Print out a usage message.
- -crypt
-
Use the crypt algorithm (default).
- -1
-
Use the MD5 based BSD password algorithm 1.
- -apr1
-
Use 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 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt.
- -salt string
-
Use the specified salt. When reading a password from the terminal, this implies -noverify.
- -in file
-
Read passwords from file.
- -stdin
-
Read passwords from stdin.
- -noverify
-
Don't verify when reading a password from the terminal.
- -quiet
-
Don't output warnings when passwords given at the command line are truncated.
- -table
-
In the output list, prepend the cleartext password and a TAB character to each password hash.
- -rand file...
-
A file or files containing random data used to seed the random number generator. Multiple files can be specified separated by an OS-dependent character. The separator is ; for MS-Windows, , for OpenVMS, and : for all others.
- [-writerand file]
-
Writes random data to the specified file upon exit. This can be used with a subsequent -rand flag.
