Re: userPassword hash

["Raphael Berghmans" <rberghmans@arafox.com>]

Hi Tony,

With your answer, I'm not able to understand the behaviour of OpenLDAP
against the Password management

If you could tell me exactly how OpenLDAP works with the password, I think
It will be more efficient for my general knowledge !

Thank you,

Raphaël

Why not? 1: has nothing to do with 2: has nothing to do with 3:

3 completely different things, not related in any way whatsoever.

Get GQ! It will teach you a lot, immediately and intuitively. PHP4
programming will cost you quite some time.

Best,
