Re: generate hash code for openldap in java

[Urban Lindberg <urban.lindberg@systech.se>]

Hi

Have you BASE64 encoded it?

I've just done this in Java and compared the generated result with what
I get from ldapppaswwd and they match.

I only get it to work for SHA and not for SSHA, beacuse I don't know
what seed to use. 

How it is done? you can find in the FAQmatic, If you have problem
finding the information, send me mail and I will help you.

Bye
