On the newer Slackware Linux distributions, the crypt method uses an MD5
based check. I'm wondering if the passwords from /etc/shadow can be
dropped straight into userPassword in an LDAP entry if prefixed with
{MD5}.
But, a password looks like:
$1$0Extvkbl$UZAJdyCwsC9JaHTysElXB.
I figure the $ is a delimeter, giving me:
1 0Extvkbl UZAJdyCwsC9JaHTysElXB.
Is anyone familiar with this encryption method? And is it at all directly
portable into an LDAP directory using one of the standard userPassword
hashes?
I'd rather not ask all my users to go in and set their passwords for their
mail again, and to make it a seamless movement for the users.
I've already tried just doing {MD5}data, but it won't verify... So, I'm
not sure what to try next.
