Hi all, Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction as I appear to be going around in circles at this stage. I am attempting to migrate from one server running OpenLDAP 2.4.9 configured with old style slapd.conf to a new server running openldap 2.4.23 with the dynamic cn=config setup. I've successfully exported / imported via slapcat and slapadd and using phpLDAPadmin I can browse all my users. The issue I run into is the use passwords do not work when I try to log into services (e.g. IMAP). Using phpLDAPadmin I perform a password compare and it returns a mismatch. Looking at the slapcat output for a user, the "userPassword" is afaik md5 run though base64 and presented as such but once bas64 is decoded it matches what phpLDAPadmin reports if I export the user. userPassword:: e01somedandomdataPT0= I docode this : user(a)server.tld$ perl <<EOF {MD5}thisisahash== Exporting the user in phpLDAPadmin and compare it's reported userPassword to the above perl output and they match. As they match I am at a loss as to why the password is not accepted when I try to login via IMAP or check password in phpLDAPadmin. As soon as I change the password, the account works find and the user can log in. Any help greatly appreciated, as I would rather not have to reset user passwords!
