I just gave this a try and changed a user's password to "password" which resulted in the MD5 hash "$md5$4bNuD9JW$$P/Lr2qkcw9wv1yYNokfQG0".I created an LDIF file with the following line and imported it into the directory: userPassword: {CRYPT}$md5$4bNuD9JW$$P/Lr2qkcw9wv1yYNokfQG0 The phrase after {CRYPT}) is the hash Solaris put in its /etc/shadow. After importing this line into the LDAP directory, I could *not* login as the corresponding user using the password "password". :-(
It is not: We're running OpenLDAP on Debian GNU/Linux...
What is doing the authentication? Are you using pam_unix via an ldap nss module, or maybe pam_ldap? If pam_unix, see pam_unix/passverify.c in the pam source, which expects an md5 hash to have the format of: $1$SALT$HASH like: $1$6biGTEUt$FrTcXRocuExNsLZItn06l1 However, you have two dollar signs after your salt, and I don't know that indicates. I tried playing around with your hash but couldn't get it to match 'password' on my Debian system. -- Dan White
