hi,
I have a question about the password management. As i know, it is possible to use hach functions into openLDAP, for exemple:
password-hash {CRYPT} password-crypt-salt-format "$1$somesalt$"
my question is about the compatibility with applications. today, we have some applications that uses openLDAP to create and authenticate users. Is there a way to say to openLDAP to hash received userPassword before inserting it into his database?
exemple: imagine an application (application1) that wants to insert a new record (user account) in a openLDAP directory. Application1 doesn't know how to hash a password, is there a way to say to openLDAP to hash this password before adding the entry.
application1 ----------userPassword: testpasswd-----> openLDAP (hash(testpasswd))------------->bdb ({CRYPT}$1$salt$EdFRTTT.BNHH.
the goal is to make openLDAP manage the hashing process and avoid to patch the applications
thank you
