( password string has been edited... )

I am not sure how this is encoded... is there a way to find out? I have tried md5 which is currently the default encoding for our servers.

I have also tried slappasswd with various -h option to see if I can recreate the same hash if it is a hash. 

I want to add new users using ldif and would like to encrypt/hash their passwords in a similar fashion if possible.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
