Hi all,

Does anyone know of a way to decode OpenLDAP's non-salted userPassword values 
from this:
{SHA}W6ph5Mm5Pz8GgiULbPgzG37mj9g=

To this? (the underlying SHA hash):
5baa61e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8

I know it needs to be base64 decoded to hex bytes, but I can't figure out how 
to do this without base64 decoding to ASCII first, then converting that to hex:

echo -n W6ph5Mm5Pz8GgiULbPgzG37mj9g= |base64 -d - |hexdump -e '/1 "%x" '

The problem with decoding to ASCII first is some of the output is control 
chars, such as line breaks, which hexdump isn't handling properly:

What I'm hoping for:
5baa61e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8

What hexdump is giving me:
5baa61e4c9b93f*  68225 b6cf8331b7ee68fd8

As you can see parts of the hash are lost in translation. I've been working on 
this for weeks and I'm out of ideas (short of learning Java/C). I found an 
online converter that can do this properly 
(http://home1.paulschou.net/tools/xlate/), but I need to decode 10,000+ values..

Help!!
