argon2 - how to meet that requirement?

[AGNF]

Hi,

as I am trying to get a TYPO3 installation converted from Apache to OpenLitespeed I ran into a challenge: I can't log into the backend because TYPO3 requires PHP with Argon2 enabled.

Is there a PHP package with PHP7.2 or higher that has Argon2 enabled and is usable for OpenLitespeed?

Cheers
Andreas

Do you mean this one https://pecl.php.net/package/libsodium/1.0.3 ?

If you are on CentOS and configure OLS to use remi PHP, Argon2 should be in remi repo.

If you are using lsphp, you can compile from source.

as you pointed out indirectly, I haven't provided a lot of base information. We are indeed using Debian 9 at the moment and run OpenLitespeed with lsphp.

As I don't want to compile my own version of PHP, is there a chance that Argon2 will make it into the pre-compiled package of lsphp in the near future? Or is there a way to drop a feature request for this?

Hi AGNF,

Unfortunately Debian 9 does not come with a new enough libargon2 package to build LSPHP with that will support mass installations. Since it is built in directly to the main PHP binary enabling libargon2 support would require a package that does not exist causing installs to fail. We have been looking into alternative solutions but at this time do not have one. Currently we support Sodium on Debian 9 without Argon 2 support and Debian 10 supports Sodium with Argon 2 support.

Thanks for the inside. Eventually, we'll switch over to Deb10 for our servers. I'll check this aspect out then again.
