Thanks Richard! But how does Red Hat DS know that it need not rehash the password? e.g. Suppose I create a ldif file saying: userPassword=testppassword and export another ldif: userPassword=xyzRR$#== First one is in plain english since I create that and second one is in hashed format because I have exported an existing user. Now if i import these 2 to another Red Hat instance how will that new instance know that second one is already hashed? regards, Ankur Rich Megginson <rmeggins at redhat.com> wrote: Ankur Agarwal wrote: > Hi, > > We want to migrate users from Netscape LDAP to RedHat DS.
