Did you just skip entirely past the point where I said:
"but there has been some discussion of the limitations of the current SHA2 module
in
the past that would likely need addressing"
Sorry, it seems I misread your sentence: I assumed you're talking about concrete
deficiencies of the implementation in ./contrib/slapd-modules/passwd/sha2.
I was referring to strength of password hashing scheme.
And yes, perhaps PBKDF2 should be in core as well. ;)
Would be nice.
Ciao, Michael.
