Peter Hmelak commented on DIRSERVER-1822:
-----------------------------------------
Emmanuel, yes, by server side hook I meant hash interceptor.
Again, this represents problem for us, and we would like if this issue gets
resolved.
> Same password can be used multiple times, when SSHA is used for password hash.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1822
> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Peter Hmelak
> Assignee: Kiran Ayyagari
>
> When using SSHA (salted SHA) for password hashing, no CONSTRAINT_VIOLATION
> (invalid reuse of password present in password history) is thrown, if new
> password is the same as one already in pwdHistory.
> I believe current implementation just compares new password hash, with with
> ones stored in pwdHistory.
> And because of new salt, no two hashes are ever a-like, even though passwords
> are the same.
> Suggestion for fix:
> *Every* salt stored in pwdHistory should be used, together with new password
> when creating password hashes, that are then compared with ones already
> stored in pwdHistory.
