Re: problems with exporting/iimporting passwords

[thom_schu@gmx.de]

Hi there,
the passwords are base64 coded and look like "userPassword::  e1NNRDV9R3VkVlJv............"
when I decode them with "echo passwd | base64 -d", the base64 command returns with an error
like "invalid base64 string" for all passwords (42 from 901) which the ldapadd-tool doesnt accept.
I tried to put a "=" to the end of the base64 coded password and then it seems to work, at least 
for the one password I know from this set of not working passwords, and this password
consists only of alpha-characters and a "-"
can it be that slapcat or ldapsearch (I tried both) fetch some incomplete password-strings ?

thanks
