Re: Comparing Passwords

[Martin Hofbauer <mh@bacher.at>]

I sent this question 2 days ago. No response till now.

Is nowbody out there, who can help with a "ldap_compare" question ?

What I have done till now: Modified the OPENldap source, to have the same
behavior as the Sun DS. ( took me 5 hours !!)

Thanx for every response
