Hi Everybody,
I'm have some RHEL6 machines that use an LDAP server to authenticate. I need to introduce in the server some checks on passwords using PPolicy. PPolicy works fine, the problem is that to use pwdCheckQuality and pwdInHistory I need to save passwords in clear text in the LDAP server. I did a search to find out if there is a way to let PAM to use clear text password to authenticate but it seems that it sends SHA hashes, so authentication fails. Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks, Francesco

Do "man pam_ldap" and search for pam_password parameter.
