Foglight encrypts the user passwords with MD5 algorithm.
Is it possible to modify Foglight to use SHA-256 instead of MD5?
Since Foglight version 5.9.6 the encryption algorithm has been changed to SHA-256. If you use this version or higher no adjustments are needed.
If you use a Foglight version lower than 5.9.6, please follow the steps below to change the encryption algorithm:
Note:
The new algorithm will not be used when changing the password via "User & Security" dashboard. The "Change password" link on the Login dashboard needs to be used.
If you want to cross check the change in the Foglight database itself, it might take a little bit until Foglight makes the change persistent. Please wait a minute before looking at the database.
The workaround above can be used for all internal Foglight users.
