Look for userpassword fields at ldap looks like
crypt{ASADASDASD!@#@!@}
You had to remove "crypt{" to authorize

Subject: ldap password issue
We have been trying to integrate open ldap with jetspeed 1.4b3. I could
talk to ldap etc. But the authentication fails beacause of the function
UnixCrypt.crypt () We had the same password in both ldap and also
entered the same password thru jetspeed, but it looks like the passwords
mismatch somehow. I was wondering if the encryption methods have to be
the same. Could any please throw some light on this.
I looked at the source code and found that ldap authentication class was
doing this, it took the password from ldap for a given user, took the
first serven characters off, and sent it to the UnixCrypt.crypt method.
the crypt method took the 3 characters from this string as salt, and
tried to encrypt the user entered password and match it. I wasn't sure
why the first seven characters of the ldap password were removed.
