I think the problem here is that the LDAP server should not allow
you to print the passwords. To allow such an action would violate
all security rules.
That all depends on your security requirements. If you want to use
LDAP to do CHAP or any other sort of challenge response authentication
you need access to the unencrypted version of the password.

Hi,
I am trying to write a web based tool which reads and writes to our
organization's OpenLDAP directory containing customer information.
I configured up a connection in entity modeler and reverse
engineered the schema which for the most part seemed to work pretty
well.
I can view a record for a customer given their CN however the
userPassword field from the core.schema is not displayed.
If I have a look at how that attribute was reverse engineered I see
that it has been assigned an external type of octet string which
matches what is specified in the OpenLDAP schema. The java type is
NSData so I tried changing it to a String.
Unfortunately I still continue to get null when trying to print the
userPassword attribute, even though I can see that the value is not
null when I retrieve the same record using a little Perl script
which uses the same credentials to access the directory.
Has anyone encountered this particular issue before, and is there a
work around?
I am thinking that the issue is probably in the way the schema was
reverse engineered, but I'm not sure what to tweak to get it to
reveal that value.
Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mitch
