---------------------------------------

                 Key: DIRSERVER-1466
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1466
             Project: Directory ApacheDS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 1.5.5
         Environment: ApacheDS 1.5.5
            Reporter: Stefan Zoerner
            Priority: Minor


Currently, ApacheDS 1.5.5 authenticates users with passwords stored with 
following algorithms:
* (plain text)
* SHA
* SSHA
* MD5
* SMD5
* CRYPT

see class org.apache.directory.server.core.authn.SimpleAuthenticator and enum 
org.apache.directory.shared.ldap.constants.LdapSecurityConstants.
Most of them are considered weak. http://www.schneier.com/essay-074.html

SHA-256 is not directly supported. How about adding it to the list?
