i have a problem with Solaris 10 LDAP password encryption to a OpenLDAP Server. When setting a inital Password with ldapadd login works fine, after the user changed inital Password on a Solaris-Station with 'passwd -r ldap' Solaris commited it with 'password successfully changed for john'. But the user cant login with the new Password.

1. Setting initial Password with ldapadd (Password: 8ASdhXY!Xy) version: 1 dn: uid=john,ou=people,ou=unix,o=kleinfeld,c=ch userPassword: {MD5}khVDRrTSYMHjTw7V6VEZwg==
2. User Login and change password with 'passwd -r ldap' (Password: 9DnxSF!dKS) version: 1 dn: uid=john,ou=people,ou=unix,o=kleinfeld,c=ch userPassword: {crypt}0vUAwIdPR4X2E

Has someone a idea whats going wrong?

Did you build OpenLDAP with the --enable-crypt option? It will not understand {crypt} format without that.
