i need to encrypt the passwords in the openldap but i m unable to find any docs
relating to it.
the ldap is used to authenticate the users on the linux box.i need to store the
passswords in an encrypted format in the ldap database and would prefer the
encryption to happen auomatically rather than to do it manually.
kindly amil any docs relating to it asap
thanks in advance
