Creating user SHA1 passwords in ldif file

[tsg <tsg@bugalux.com>]

Hi!
I am going to populate LDAP directory with some users before first start LDAP 
server, so I have prepared a ldif file:

dn: uid=admin,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com
cn: admin
sn: admin
uid: admin
description: Server Administrator
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
userPassword: {SSHA}TZlgO8QsHJAUpEPvrA90RwAM1HJ1emhubHZ0dQ==

where I got password from perl script:


sub password_ssha {
        my $pass=$_[0];
        my ($hashedPasswd,$salt);
        $salt = &get_salt8;
        my $ctx = Digest::SHA1->new;
        $ctx->add($pass);
        $ctx->add($salt);
        $hashedPasswd = '{SSHA}' . encode_base64($ctx->digest . $salt,'');
        return($hashedPasswd);
}

sub get_salt8 {
        my $salt = join '', ('a'..'z')[rand 26,rand 26,rand 26,rand 26,rand 
26,rand 26,rand 26,rand 26];
        return($salt);
}

Script works, if I use it to add users to working server with pwrl-ldap 
package, But in this case, server does not understand password I got.
If I change password with ldappassword, things became normal.

Could you please point me where I am whong!
