MD5 Passwords
I am having problems binding to LDAP when I have md5 passwords in
userPassword
For example, I have tried combinations of hashing a password, base64
encoding the password, etc. like this:
echo blah | openssl md5 | openssl base64
which gives me:
MGQ1OTlmMGVjMDVjM2JkYThjM2I4YTY4YzMyYTFiNDcK
And I store with the {md5} prefix. I have tried using the {crypt} prefix,
and different combinations of hashing/encoding the password.
Why doesn't this work? My configuration is as follows:
Debian 2.2r3
OpenLDAP 2.0.11
openssl 0.9.6
libmhash2 is also installed.
Can someone explain to me exactly what OpenLDAP 2+ supports as far as
password encryption is concerned? I don't see anything in the documentation
and the only results I've found searching are regarding 1.x. Any help would
be appreciated.
