A new attribute type, authPassword, to hold +hashed passwords has been defined (RFC 3112), but is not yet +implemented in +.BR slapd (8). +.LP +It should also be noted that the behavior of +.BR crypt (3) +is platform specific. +.SH "SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS" +Use of hashed passwords does not protect passwords during +protocol transfer. TLS or other eavesdropping protections +should be in-place before using LDAP simple bind. +.LP +The hashed password values should be protected as if they +were clear text passwords. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR ldappasswd (1), +.BR ldapmodify (1), +.BR slapd (8), +.BR slapd.conf (5), +.BR slapd\-config (5), +.B RFC 2307\fP, +.B RFC 4519\fP, +.B RFC 3112 +.LP +"OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide" (http://www.OpenLDAP.org/doc/admin/) +.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS +.so ../Project |
