> Block search ability for userPassword attribute
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DIRSERVER-997
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-997
> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Hans Lohmander
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.5.2
>
>
> I entered this issue on request from the user list where this topic came up.
> The userPassword should not be available for search,
> else password fishing is possible.
> If you are allowed to do a search like
> $ ldapsearch -b o=some.root -s sub
> 'userPassword="{md5}b4b5835f03bd6748e0cc25790d6f3498"' dn
> it would render you all objects with the attribute userPassword equal to
> "the secret password", which may not be such a good idea.
> iPlanet DS 4.x allowed searches on ueserPassword attribute with
> directory manager privs I found out.
