Greetings!
I have been working solo to convert our department from using NIS
to LDAP for some time (far too long), and I have been trying to be
careful about service disruption once the changes happen. So far
I have found this list very helpful (as well as other resources) in
tackling the problems.
However, the one problem that may be a big issue for me are MD5
passwords are stored currently and how I am going to import them
into the LDAP from NIS. I have read up a bit of the history of this,
and I thought I followed the advice I read in the archives, but
something is still not right for me here.
Insight would be appreciated
Currently, our NIS database stores it's passwords in this
format:
$1$DHereAreLotsOLettersAndNumbers.
I would love to be able to drop that right into the ldap object
for the user. However I do see the way it's working for me now,
slappasswd -h "{MD5}" generates passwords that look like this:
{MD5}AFewLessLettersAndNumber
I have read in the archives that I have to change the order that
certain libraries are compiled. But things don't work if I use
ldapmodify to change a users password
userPassword: {MD5}AFewLessLettersAndNumber
to
userPassword: {MD5}$1$DHereAreLotsOLettersAndNumbers.
Is this the part I have messed up, or is there something else that
I am missing completely?
Or, is it the solution is already there in the archives and I haven't
found it yet?
