Hi, I'm trying to figure out why: plaintext password is: password My ldif export of the database shows: userPassword: {SHA}W6ph5Mm5Pz8GgiULbPgzG37mj9g= Now, working backwards: http://www.fileformat.info/tool/hash.htm?text=password SHA-1 5baa61e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8 Base64 of 5baa61e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8 is: NWJhYTYxZTRjOWI5M2YzZjA2ODIyNTBiNmNmODMzMWI3ZWU2OGZkOA== (Via http://makcoder.sourceforge.net/demo/base64.php) NWJhYTYxZTRjOWI5M2YzZjA2ODIyNTBiNmNmODMzMWI3ZWU2OGZkOA== is not W6ph5Mm5Pz8GgiULbPgzG37mj9g=, so I'm left wondering what is wrong. Should I be using something other than base64? If I decode W6ph5Mm5Pz8GgiULbPgzG37mj9g=, it doesn't even look at all like a SHA-1 value. Password encryption is set on the server to SHA (not SSHA). I've searched the Fedora Directory Server docs and can't find any explanation on how userPassword works in this regard (As an aside, anyone noticed that Google doesn't seem to like indexing the docs very much?). What am I doing wrong? Also, if I used SSHA, where would I find the salt from, assuming it's even possible?
