Convert base16 to base64 script here...

[E M Recio <n2wog@usa.net>]

If anyone's interested. This is what I have discovered to make the standard
(old?) base16 md5 passwords jive with openldap's base64 method. You will need
the MIME::Base64 module from CPAN.

#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# Converts a base 16 hashed md5 password to base 64 
#
use MIME::Base64;
$orig_encrypted_password = '4B8916F6665C335CA568CC1116653685';
$bin_encrypted_password = pack('H*',$orig_encrypted_password);
$new_encrypted_password = encode_base64($bin_encrypted_password);

print '1. userPassword: ' . $orig_encrypted_password . "\n";
print '2. userPassword: ' . $bin_encrypted_password . "\n";
print '3. userPassword: ' . $new_encrypted_password . "\n";
