Howard, hashes are now correct however I'm only able to update the password the first time, subsequent tries fails with this error: http://195.55.55.164/tests/OpenLDAP/ldap.txt this is an entry after the first update: http://195.55.55.164/tests/OpenLDAP/entry.txt I reload the DIT for each test to avoid residual data so it should work like other times it did.
