Hello,
In my quest to install and understand how works a PDC Samba/OpenLDAP, I encountered a strange problem when setting my slapd admin password. Here is my server configuration :
@(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.11 (Oct 24 2008 23:44:05) $ buildd@palmer:/build/buildd/openldap-2.4.11/debian/build/servers/slapd
I'm running ubuntu-server 8.10 Intrepid. My ubuntu is up to date. I installed the slapd package from ubuntu repository. dpkg asked me to specify a password for my admin account and I entered a password like this one : totototo12; And now when I try to modify my LDAP tree with the command "ldapmodify -x -D cn=admin,cn=config -W", at the password prompt, I can connect with all this password : totototo12; totototo12 totototo1 totototo totototo23 tototototo ...
The only condition to login is that I wrote the beginning of my password : totototo Why slapd does not care about the end of my password ? If I specify a smaller password like toto12; in slapd configuration with dpkg-reconfigure, there is no problem...
What password hashing scheme are you using? {CRYPT}? You should use {SSHA}.
Ciao, Michael.
