Re: plain text passwords

[craigl <pavesi@integrity.com>]

Maybe someone can help me with a problem that I seem to be having with a
test 2.x ldap (redhat 7.x beta).  OpenLDAP 2.0.7 also exibits the same
symtoms also.  I have defined a local.schema file, and
am also including the core.schema file in the slapd.conf file (but even
with ONLY the core.schema file defined it still exibits the same problem).
I create a dn entry, then add this entry:

dn: uid=tester, ou=email, dc=test, dc=com
objectclass: qmailUser
objectclass: person
uid: tester
userPassword: testing
sn: Last
cn: Test Last


This gets accepted fine with ldap, but when I do a ldapsearch, the
password ends up being encrypted like so:


userPasword:: aGVoZWhl


All other information is correct about the account, just the password
is not getting over as plain text as I want.  Another thing I see is there
are 2 colons (::) on the "userPassword" attribute after its entered into
ldap.  Any hints on what could be causing this problem?
