MaxAuth -----

Modern proxy-first authentication plugin for Minecraft networks



Password hash migration support and 0.9.12 update
This update adds expanded password hash compatibility and migration support.

Recommended for new passwords:
  • ARGON2ID
  • BCRYPT

Other configurable algorithms:
  • PBKDF2_SHA256
  • PBKDF2_SHA512
  • SALTEDSHA512
  • SHA256 - MaxAuth salted SHA-256 same like JPremium SHA256
  • SHA512 - MaxAuth salted SHA-512 same like JPremium SHA512

Migration-only hashes accepted from the database:
  • SALTEDSHA256
  • DOUBLE_SHA512
  • AUTHME_SHA256
  • AUTHME_SHA
  • PBKDF2
  • CSHA256 - classic unsalted SHA-256
  • CSHA512 - classic unsalted SHA-512
  • MD5VB
  • IPB3
  • IPB4
  • JOOMLA
  • MYBB
  • PHPBB
  • PHPFUSION
  • SMF
  • WBB3
  • WBB4
  • XFBCRYPT
  • ROYALAUTH
  • MD5
  • SHA1
  • DOUBLE_MD5
  • DOUBLE_SHA1
  • BCRYPT2Y

When rehashPasswordWhenUsingDifferentAlgorithm is enabled, passwords using legacy or different algorithms are automatically upgraded after successful login.

New password configuration:
Code (YAML):
#+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
#|  PASSWORDS                                                                                           |
#+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

# Password hashing algorithm for new cracked-player passwords.
# Recommended values: ARGON2ID, BCRYPT.
# Other configurable values: PBKDF2_SHA256, PBKDF2_SHA512, SALTEDSHA512, SHA256, SHA512.
# SHA256 and SHA512 are MaxAuth salted hashes. Classic unsalted SHA hashes are migration-only as CSHA256 and CSHA512.
passwordHashingAlgorithm
: ARGON2ID

# Re-hash a password on login when it uses a different algorithm than configured above.
# Useful when migrating from legacy algorithms to ARGON2ID or BCRYPT.
# Migration-only hashes accepted from the database include:
# SALTEDSHA256, DOUBLE_SHA512, AUTHME_SHA256, AUTHME_SHA, PBKDF2, CSHA256, CSHA512,
# MD5VB, IPB3, IPB4, JOOMLA, MYBB, PHPBB, PHPFUSION, SMF, WBB3, WBB4, XFBCRYPT,
# ROYALAUTH, MD5, SHA1, DOUBLE_MD5, DOUBLE_SHA1, BCRYPT2Y.
rehashPasswordWhenUsingDifferentAlgorithm
: true

# Regular expression that cracked-player passwords must match.
# Default: 6-25 non-whitespace characters.
safePasswordPattern
: ' [\S ] {6,25 }'
Note: Legacy hash support is intended for migration only. For new installations, ARGON2ID or BCRYPT is recommended.
