As MD5 hash (also termed message digests) consists of 128-bit (16-byte).
A typical format (eg. `md5sum`, ...) to represent them is as a sequence of 32 hexadecimal digits.
However, in the **MD5** column, the digest is represented as base64.

To compare a Bareos digest with command line tools, you have to use

openssl dgst -md5 -binary $PATH_OF_YOUR_FILE | base64

Also you have to note, that even the table column is named **MD5**,
it used to store any kind of digest (MD5, SHA1, ...).
This is not directly indicated by the value, however, you can determine the type depending of the length of the digest.

\item New directive \configdirective{LanAddress} was added to the Client and Storage Resources of the director to facilitate a network topology where client and storage are situated inside of a LAN, but the Director is outside of that LAN. See \nameref{LanAddress} for details.
