{SSHA} vs {CRYPT} with Solaris 8 authentication

[Andrea Gabellini <agabellini@intelcom.sm>]

Hi,

i'm using OpenLDAP to authenticate Solaris users. If in the directory I 
enter the userPassword attribute encrypted with crypt() I'm able to log in, 
but if I enter the same password encrypted with SSHA not.

With other openldap tools I'm able to bind to the directory with both 
encryption methods.

In a document about pam_ldap (sun version) I red that it's possible to 
store passwords with any encryption method. Is it true? Or I can only use 
cryp()?

Thanks,
Andrea
