> During the work of moving password parameters from foreman to internal
> hiera I noted that there are some users that still have their passwords
> hashed by MD5 algorithm.
> MD5 has known crypto research that make it no longer suitable for storing
> passwords securely:
> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5#Security (and corresponding links).
> While the hashes are stored in internal repo it is still shared and prone
> to information leaks. We should ask all users to rehash their passwords
> with SHA-512 and when it is done we can remove MD5 exception
> in site/ovirt_infra/manifests/user.pp so MD5 hashed passwords are no
> longer accepted.
> The current list of users left is available in infra-hiera repo.
