Hello, I'm trying to modify the userPassword value from within a perl script using Perl::LDAP. I generate an encrypted pwd in perl and then write it to FedoraDS via ldap->modify The update seems successfull but when I query FedoraDS afterwards the string in userPassword is not the same as the one I generated. What exactly is happening in the background giving this result? I tried writing the same value to another attribute (eg mail) and then it is as expected. What's the best way to update the userPassword from within perl?
When the server is set to do password hashing, then it hashes the value you send unless you prefix it with {sha} or similar. When prefixed, the server assumes that you know what you are doing.
