Re: Password authentication using unix crypt

Sorry for the confusion. I'm okay at the AIX side. But I have
trouble authenticating the password (the single salt ones) generated
by AIX, at the web application which is running on Windows 2003. I
tried using various versions of unixcrypt (c and perl) that I
downloaded but can't produce the same result as AIX. But the two-char
salt works fine.

For example:
the password test1234 encrypted using single-salt key "a" in AIX is:
aakhst1GufYjU

but if I run activeperl crypt in Windows with the same salt, it gave
me: aAQJOTmpwCzbk

I see. You didn't mention Windows...

No idea. Maybe you should ask a Windows forum.

You could port the code yourself: the glibc implementation, which is
open source, works like the AIX version in that respect.
