Hello,
I tried to set a password with the -T option.
It failed so I tried -d 11 to see the dump in hexa.
I discovered that a 0xa is append to the password.
Is it a bug ? if so please confirm I will open a bugreport.
slappasswd hashes the contents of the file, whatever it is. Usually,
one should generate a file that contains a single line without a newline
(0xa) at the end. For example:
$ echo "secret" > x && slappasswd -T x -h '{CLEARTEXT}' | od -c
Warning: Password file x is publicly readable/writeable
0000000 s e c r e t \n \n
0000010
$ echo -n "secret" > x && slappasswd -T x -h '{CLEARTEXT}' | od -c
Warning: Password file x is publicly readable/writeable
0000000 s e c r e t \n
0000007
notice the extra '\n' you get when the file is terminated by a newline.
