I did an 'ldbmcat -n ... > ...' of our Netscape directory and afterwards  I
created
a new OpenLDAP directory using the 'ldif2ldbm' utility.

Running 'ud' on the new OpenLDAP directory I get:

	[root@falcon] /usr/local/etc/openldap>ud -s falcon.w.cgn.rpr.rp
	LDAP UserDirectory 1.2.3-Release (Tue Jul  6 17:15:36 MET DST 1999)

	  Enter a command.  If you need help, type 'h' or '?' and hit RETURN.

	* cb o=RPR-Cologne,c=DE
	  Search base is now RPR-Cologne, Germany
	* bind Dietmar Sauerwein
	  Do you mean Dietmar Sauerwein? 
	  Authenticating to the directory as "Dietmar Sauerwein"...
	  Enter your LDAP password: 
	  The password you provided is incorrect.
	  Authentication failed.

	* q
	 Thank you!


and on the old Netscape directory:


	[root@falcon] /usr/local/etc/openldap>ud -s escala2.w.cgn.rpr.rp
	LDAP UserDirectory 1.2.3-Release (Tue Jul  6 17:15:36 MET DST 1999)

	  Enter a command.  If you need help, type 'h' or '?' and hit RETURN.

	* cb o=RPR-Cologne,c=DE
	  Search base is now RPR-Cologne, Germany
	* bind Dietmar Sauerwein
	  Authenticating to the directory as "Dietmar Sauerwein"...
	  Enter your LDAP password: 
	  Authentication successful.
	
	* q
	 Thank you!


The password I entered was the same! The result is the same for all users I
tried!
The passwords are encrypted using the 'sha' algorithm.

Did I do a mistake or is there no (trivial) way to convert the users (passwords)
of
a Netscape directory to an OpenLDAP directory?
