ACI in OpenLDAP.



Does OpenLDAP support Access Control Instances?  I have seen some 
reference to what I think are them in the core.schema (OpenLDAPaci).
If so, do they operate somewhat like the acis' in Netscape Directory Server?

Thanks

Tom

As previously noted, ldapsearch provides values of userPassword
in base64 form.  The value is 'BSeidHl'.

No. It's <uid=BSmith,o=NASH,dc=dell,dc=com>'s user password, used
for simple authentication.  SASL/DIGEST-MD5 secrets are stored
in Cyrus's SASLdb.
