.SH NAME
slapd-pw-argon2 \- Argon2 password module to slapd
.SH SYNOPSIS
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
.RS
.LP
.B moduleload pw-argon2
.RI [ <parameters> ]
.RE
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The
.B pw-argon2
module to
.BR slapd (8)
provides support for the use of the key derivation function Argon2,
that was selected as the winner of the Password Hashing Competition in July 2015,
in hashed passwords in OpenLDAP.
.LP
It does so by providing the additional password scheme
.B {ARGON2}
for use in slapd.

.SH CONFIGURATION
The
.B pw-argon2
module does not need any configuration,
but it can be configured by giving the following parameters:
.TP
.BI m= <memory>
Set memory usage to
.I <memory>
kiB.
.TP
.BI p= <parallelism>
Set parallelism to
.I <parallelism>
threads.
.TP
.BI t= <iterations>
Set the number of iterations to
.IR <iterations> .
.LP
These replace defaults when preparing hashes for new passwords where possible.
.LP
After loading the module, the password scheme
.B {ARGON2}
will be recognised in values of the
.I userPassword
attribute.
.LP
You can then instruct OpenLDAP to use this scheme when processing
the LDAPv3 Password Modify (RFC 3062) extended operations by using the
.BR password-hash
option in
.BR slapd.conf (5):
.RS
.LP
.B password\-hash {ARGON2}
.RE
.LP

.SS NOTES
If you want to use the scheme described here with
.BR slappasswd (8),
remember to load the module using its command line options.
The relevant option/value is:
.RS
.LP
.B \-o
.BR module\-load = pw-argon2
.LP
.RE
Depending on
.BR pw-argon2 's
location, you may also need:
.RS
.LP
.B \-o
.BR module\-path = \fIpathspec\fP
.RE

.SH EXAMPLES
Both userPassword LDAP attributes below encode the password
.RI ' secret '
using different salts:
.EX
.LP
userPassword: {ARGON2}$argon2i$v=19$m=4096,t=3,p=1$c2FsdHNhbHQ$DKlexoEJUoZTmkAAC3SaMWk30El9/RvVhlqGo6afIng
