hi, In OpenLDAP I have an account now setup for replication (thanks for the help). But my credientials= is in plane text; Although I have the replication account password encrypted. My question is, can I hash/encrypt the credentials= so it does not sit in plane text in slapd.conf? Thanks, j. -- ...................... ..... Jason C. Leach .. Current PGP/GPG Key ID: 43AD2024
