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
Looks like a hexpair representation of a binary value. Convert it to
binary and base64 encode it.
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.
