Check Password failed on Solaris Systems using sunmd5 encrypted passwords (4260519)

When running a "Check Password" on a "Solaris" account the check fails and error  "The password in TPAM DOES NOT MATCH the managed system" is displayed in the results. This occurs when users are using sunmd5 encrypted passwords (beginning with $md5$ in shadow file).

WORKAROUND

Change the password hashing encryption algorithm for managed accounts on the Solaris system. The following hashing types are supported:

Standard Unix crypt
1 BSD/Linux MD5
2a Blowfish
5 SHA-256 (supports long passwords)
6 SHA-512 (supports long passwords)

STATUS

Enhancement request number 6418 has been submitted to Development for consideration in a future release of TPAM Appliance.
