sql to ldap MD5 conversion

Hi.

After several failed attempts, I need some help regarding the following issue. I need to import some users from a MySQL database to OpenLDAP. I cannot find a working way of converting the md5 password stored in the database (using md5() ) to the {MD5} password format for Ldap.

e.g: SQL: the md5 value of 'password' is 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 OpenLDAP: the result of `slappasswd -h {MD5} -s password` is {MD5}X03MO1qnZdYdgyfeuILPmQ==

So obviously I won't be able to use {MD5}5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99

From what I could gather it has to do with Base64 encoding but all my

attemps at scripting something failed miserably :( Any hint would be appreciated.

Thanks!
