Hi all, I use a ldapbrowser (its open source java ldapbrowser) to view all my openldap entries. Im able to read all the attribute values when i view through the ldapbrowser.
But when i do slapcat and generate a ldif file i see some attribute like this
mail:: IGF2ZXJ5cG9obG1hbjM3QHdlYnN0ZXIuZWR1
but when i view the same entry in ldapbrowser its fine. Any one know why entry looks encrypted using slapcat.
For security reasons, I guess. But I think we need to move to a stronger algorithm, this is quite easy to crack:
echo -n "IGF2ZXJ5cG9obG1hbjM3QHdlYnN0ZXIuZWR1" | base64 -d averypohlman37@webster.edu
Remember: garbage in, garbage out.
