Password Encryption
In compliance with UC APL, FIPS 140-2 the SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm) is applied to:
● Application login passwords.
● Linux operating system passwords.
● CSRs (Certificate Signing Requests).
The output value for SHA-256 is 256 bits whereas for SHA-1 the output value is 160 bits.
For backward compatibility with previous versions, either SHA-1 or SHA-256 can be selected as the hash
algorithm used in the creation of CSRs.
Upgrade / Downgrade Guidelines
The RMX configuration, including users and passwords, should be backed up before upgrading or
downgrading.
Table 5-53 summarizes the system behavior with regard to passwords and certificates when upgrading to
or downgrading from this version.
