retitle 343113 admin password set via debconf is not correctly set in the ldap directory severity 343113 serious thanks
I've increased the severity of this bug, because it affects every fresh installation of the current etch/sid version, and creates a hard-to-debug problem for someone new to slapd trying to set up the package. The problem is as Marian Andre describes above - config maintainer scripts are called twice, once at preconfigure time, once at postinst time. Fortunately, the server denies binds with an empty password, so this doesn't result in a security exposure. A quick bugfix, if not very elegant, would be to simply not re-hash the password if slapd/password1 == slapd/password2 == "" and slapd/internal/adminpw != "". One method for users to work around this until it is fixed is to temporarily set a rootdn and rootpw in slapd.conf, to log on to the directory to fix the broken password.
