The ldiff I have genrated using slapcat on my new server in order to keep it as backup has the hashed entry of password in the entry of the administrator. ldap browser has the plain text password in the uid of the administrator.
If You use slapcat-based ldif, you should probably remove lines of various system attributes from ldif file, especially like these:
structuralObjectClass: ..... creatorsName: cn=nsadmin createTimestamp: 19980218204619Z modifiersName: uid=nsadmin,o=trac modifyTimestamp: 19980722182149Z entryUUID: 8179b9a2-74d7-102a-9988-90f8caf384a9 entryCSN: 20060511011623Z#000003#00#000000
These attributes are read-only, and automatically added by server, they can appear in slapcat-result file to be loaded with slapadd command, with the all objects tree, but you cannot add object with ldapadd, with ldif containing these attributes (I don't remember whether ldapadd simply ignores it, or returns ldap error).
