disable-passwd/enable-passwd are for back-passwd. There's a
slapd-passwd(5) man page for documentation.
"cleartext" and "spasswd" are password hashing schemes. The cleartext
hash
scheme does exactly what it sounds like, i.e. {CLEARTEXT}password for
credentials of "password".
The spasswd scheme allows the use of SASL for simple binds. Basically, if
you have userPassword: {SASL}uid(a)REALM.EXAMPLE.COM, then you get the same
result as "testsaslauthd -s slapd -r
REALM.EXAMPLE.COM -u uid -p
password." {SASL} is the scheme implemented with --enable-spasswd.

Hi all,
this is maybe a silly newbie question and I do apologize if so.
Im digging through the options of OpenLDAP 2.3.3x configure and so far I
basically found the output of "configure --help" as the only information
available. I also browsed through the Admin Guide, Faq-O-Matic and googled
but only seemed to find the same help output over and over.
What I'm after is a description of the effects which is more comprehensive
than the help of configure, i.e. what are the consequences if I
enable/disable a certain option.
Especially I'm interested in knowing about the effects of the options
--disable-cleartext
--disable-spasswd
--disable-passwd
Can anyone provide a pointer to such information ?
Thanks
