QA/TestCases/ShadowPasswordMD5
Description
This test case will verify that the MD5 algorithm is used to produce the password hashes in /etc/shadow. The default will be SHA-512 and it will not be configurable in the UI. Use kickstart to specify which algorithm to use.
Steps To Reproduce
1. Start and installation using any available means 1. Provide ks.cfg file with the password settings 1. Finish the installation
Expected Results
- Install completes without error
- The system boots into runlevel 3
- /etc/shadow is present
- There is an entry looking like:
root:$1$RjrAWGwM$CjrvqK3qWDpXrvtfRnyGE0:13933:0:99999:7::: $1$ indicates MD5
