feat: allow other password hashing algorithms (#1917)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**breaking change**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The current implementation of the `htpasswd` module supports multiple hash formats on verify, but only `crypt` on sign in.
|
||
|
|
`crypt` is an insecure old format, so to improve the security of the new `verdaccio` release we introduce the support of multiple hash algorithms on sign in step.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### New hashing algorithms
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The new possible hash algorithms to use are `bcrypt`, `md5`, `sha1`. `bcrypt` is chosen as a default, because of its customizable complexity and overall reliability. You can read more about them [here](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/misc/password_encryptions.html).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Two new properties are added to `auth` section in the configuration file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `algorithm` to choose the way you want to hash passwords.
|
||
|
|
- `rounds` is used to determine `bcrypt` complexity. So one can improve security according to increasing computational power.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example of the new `auth` config file section:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```yaml
|
||
|
|
auth:
|
||
|
|
htpasswd:
|
||
|
|
file: ./htpasswd
|
||
|
|
max_users: 1000
|
||
|
|
# Hash algorithm, possible options are: "bcrypt", "md5", "sha1", "crypt".
|
||
|
|
algorithm: bcrypt
|
||
|
|
# Rounds number for "bcrypt", will be ignored for other algorithms.
|
||
|
|
rounds: 10
|
||
|
|
```
