I'm trying to build 2.4.20 so that it stores the userPassword attribute crypt'ed rather than in clear text - yes I know it violates the RFC.
I tried
./configure --enable-crypt --disable-cleartext
This compiled fine but failed test002-populate for bdb
Is this a valid configuration and will it achieve what I want?
Is it possible to store the userPassword attribute crypt'ed?
Thanks
John
Why not select which encryption you want in the slapd runtime configuration?

Evening,
I don't know what the problem with dbd might be, but-
btw I've tried to compile and install OpenLDAP 2.4.20 with your parameters and it worked. But I can't [= I don't have time] to test it further [more info needed?]
I tried
./configure --enable-crypt --disable-cleartext
most probably yes.

I think you still have to specify the prefix {CRYPT}
Is it possible to store the userPassword attribute crypt'ed?
Yes, it is. We've used it couple months back until we've switched to {SSHA} :) I must note, because I'm sure otherwise anybody else will do it, that CRYPT is weak and shouldn't be used. But I'm sure you know this.
Thanks
John
