Re: how to generate passwords?

["Denny Snyder" <DSnyder@suscom.com>]

Wow!!  I've been trying for a solid week to get authentication to work via LDAP!

Everytime I try to auth I get "Password Incorrect".....  (only setup pop3 for testing for now)
I have no local accounts on my LDAP test box but I have over 27K LDAP entries.....

I'm starting to get a bit frustrated......  Did you have any problems such as this when you first attempted to migrate to LDAP?

I've set up OpenLDAP to do user authentication for a server and now I'm
trying to make a script so user could change their password from the web
in PHP but I can generate the password using the crypt function in PHP
and putting {crypt}whateverpassword  in the userPassword attribute and I
can log in using SSH but I can't bind using the script I made anymore.
Anybody could help me with a way to generate passwords in PHP? And also
how do you generate password for the lmPassword and ntPassword? Thanks
