The "=" on the end suggests that it's base64, and the example was missing the extra ":" which would indicate that it is. Decoding that gives "{SSHA}oIYyblX7O93dQYbcmyP6Wh1HuDHCkfB0". Perhaps the value was accidentally converted so that it's actually being stored that way in the directory, when it shouldn't be. HTH, Nalin
