MD5 password for local authentication

[equinix]

Hi,

In the NSO local authentication we are using the basic authentication to validate the request. In the basic authentication we use the username and password as a clear text but i would like to check is there any option that NSO supports the MD5 hash value as a password ?

The MD5 hash value generated using the password only. But whenever a new request comes in we wants to validate the request based on the MD5 hash value not the clear text password.

Note : The user name and password will be pre-generated by the admin. So northbound user only knows username and MD5 value.

NSO Version : 4.3.6

Advance Thanks,

Eq

NSO doesn't support verifying an MD5 hash value. It simply uses the password as you would expect.

What you're asking for is not secure. Don't do it.
