Authentication

For sysPass authentication it could be possible to use several methods:

  • MySQL/MariaDB database (by default)
  • LDAP directory (OpenLDAP, eDirectory, Active Directory, freeIPA, etc)

Note

If LDAP option is enabled, the database authentication is used when the LDAP service is unavailable or the user doesn’t exist.

For the database authentication, a generated Blowfish hash from user’s password is checked, so the password is never stored.

If LDAP is enabled:

  • The user’s Blowfish generated hash is stored in order to check it, if the LDAP service is unavailable.
  • Neither the user’s login nor name nor email can be modified.
