The definition of a password is an octet string, however many systems have
overloaded the syntax to add hashes as suggested in RFC 2307. This
proposal attempts to standardize this overloading only for backward
compatibility and tries to define how we could use attribute descriptions to
accomplish the same effect (once again suggested in RFC2307).

Its syntax, encoding, matching rules, etc. are well defined by RFC2256 and, I presume, X.500 specifications. As such, I believe that a proposal for a replacement attribute type would be more appropriate. Kurt ---- Kurt D. Zeilenga <kurt@boolean.net> Net Boolean Incorporated <http://www.boolean.net/> |
