Hi All,<div><br></div><div>I am trying to store SSHA passwords in openldap instead of plain text via C code and wondering how this works. I tried exploring archives, FAQ etc and what I gathered from there is openLDAP has built in support for various password encryption algorithm however it does not have any APIs for generating passwords and password-has directive works with ldpapassword utility only. </div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/906.html">http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/906.html</a></div><div><br></div><div>If I use some tool like Apache DS and modify my userPassword attribute to be SSHA instead of plain text it all works. I want to know how this works under the hood? Who is responsible for generating hashed passwords? If I generate it using some C routine how does LDAP Server retrieves it during the bind operation? I would really appreciate if there is any related documentation available.<br clear="all">
