One of our middleware support staff has brought this possible exposure to our
attention:
By using the two-way encryption format, a
super user in ITDS (e.g cn=root) can run the
ldapsearch command or any other ldap client
tool to retrieve user passwords in
clear text format.
Questions: 1) - Is this scenario accurate?
2) - What changes can we make to prevent a 'root' user from
gaining this access?
TIA for your help.
