Security issue : userPassword is shown

Hi all,

I use a 3rd party LDAP browser to browse the users that I created. I can see the userPassword clearly (plain text).

Is there any way to avoid this ?

When I use slapcat command to export to LDIF file, the userPassword field is encrypted, but why using 3rd party browser will show the password in plain text ?

Thanks
