opeldap back-sql oracle with password-hash MD5 enabled

All,

We are implementing openldap using oralce as backend and every thing is up and running fine with out any issues. Now we have an additional requirement to hash the cleartext passwords in oracle database for ldap users. Now instead of storing cleartext passwords, I'm storing passwords in the same database column but prefix of the schema in braces and MD5 hash value.

Lets say if we have a user - jsmith with password 123456

I would store the {MD5}e10adc3949ba59abbe56e057f20f883e in the database column (userPassword). But for some reason I was able to bind with admin creds, but the authentication fails with err=49

I can send detailed openldap logs if required.

Thanks,
