Could I generate a {SSHA1} hash of a password (to be used for the rootdn
account) with the help of slappasswd utility on a system and reuse that salted
hash for the very same purpose but on a different operating system?
{SSHA} (salted SHA-1) is platform-independent.
In opposite to that {CRYPT} is not the same on all platforms depending on
implemented hash-schemes of crypt(3) function.
