I see these errors in my logs for some accounts on my consumers with chaining enabled.

    This means the user does not have a userpassword attribute in its
    entry.  Can you confirm, on the consumer, if that entry has this
    attribute?

Are these spurious messages or something that needs to be addressed?

I came across this:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1833266

upgrade-hash is set to "on" on all servers.

What is this code doing?

It's checking if you are using an outdated password storage scheme, and if it is then it re-encodes the password in a more secure algorithm.

      if (e == NULL || slapi_entry_attr_find(e, SLAPI_USERPWD_ATTR, &pw) != 0 || pw == NULL) {

          slapi_log_err(SLAPI_LOG_WARNING,

                        "update_pw_encoding", "Could not read password attribute on '%s'\n",

                        dn);

          goto free_and_return;
