I am coding a web form to add users to OpenDirectory. From slapcat, I see that Apple stores apple-user-mailattribute in some encrypted format. Can anyone pls tell me

1. how to encrypt user entered data into this attribute.

2. I am storing password as Crypt type. How to store in OpenDirectory format ?

 

Thanks !
