Hi Michael and Dieter,
Thanks for your kindly replies.
In my case, I didn't use any SASL or TLS but "simple" method with
operation mode of user/password authenticated. However, I need the rootpw hashed (not
cleartext) and the 2 servers (master & slave) synchronized.
Could you pls advise how i should modify the syncrepl part? or could you pls provide a
sample of the slapd.conf file configuration?
Best regards,
Eileen

In order to use sasl, passwords must be cleartext and you should
configure an apropriate authz-regexp, see man slapd.conf(5)
You may use any sasl mechanism that you sasl framework provides.

To be more precise: In order to use password-based SASL mechs the passwords
have to be stored in clear-text.
Well, if working with SASL and TLS (LDAPS, StartTLS) one should consider using
client certs and SASL/EXTERNAL for replication.
Ciao, Michael.

Hi Michael and Dieter,
I see the below mail, can I understand only the mirror mode replication can’t use the
HASH password in rootpw, other Synchronous replication mode(example: syncrepl proxy) can
use the HASH password?

Hi,
If I remeber correctly, you mentioned sasl authentication. My comments
on plaintext passwords are only related to sasl authentication. A sasl
authentication is based on a SASL MECHANISM, as described in rfc-4422.
In order to compare the sasl authentication string with the stored
password value, this has to be cleartext.
If your ldap operation is based on a simple bind, the stored password
can, and should be, hashed.

yes above is the idea. You can hash the rootpw but your replication partners will of
course need the cleartext password so they can authenticte.
Use slappasswd to generate the hash from your own secret password.
If yes, I have a question, other people can see my rootpw, this is
not safe, isn’t it ?
Other people cannot decode the password from the hash. So you rootpw is safe on the
provider node.
There is now way to secure the credentials on the consumer node as it will have to know
the password in order to authenticate. Take a moment to think about how having a hashed
password on the consumer would allow it to authenticate. And if it would how would that
stop somebody from grabbing the hashed password and using it if that would work.
If you do not like to have cleartext credentials you could of course use SASL
method=external with client certificates as has been suggested before. You could then
have a configuration without any cleartext passwords. But of course you would need to have
the client certifcate and corresponding private key on the consumer node. In that case
this could be stolen.
Using a separate dn or client certificates for the replication user is good practice so
you can limit the respective privileges to read only.
You could even use an acl to further limit client ip address from where the consumers can
connect.
