So, as someone else noted, if your previous OpenLDAP version used a {crypt}

type hash, the newer build of OpenLDAP may not support {crypt} type
passwords.  So, my suggestion was you modify the password of the user who
can't bind.  You can do this using the rootdn and the ldappasswd utility.

I came across something might explain what is causing the authentication
issue.  In looking at the readOnlyUser that is not authenticating on my new
server running openladap 2.4.31 and my old server running openldap 2.4.21
is the password hash.  When decode the provided password hash the old
server returns that the the password was generated with a standard hash and
on the new server it is a salted hash.  I have looked through ppolicy from
my slapcat.ldif file and I don't see anything there dealing with password
storage. I am trying to figure out how I can toggle the salt hash off to do
further testing.

Thanks,
Eric
