I believe the userpassword attribute is stored in LDAP as an octet
string as per RFC2256. Does anyone know what value should be returned
from a read of this attribute?
The reason I ask is that my own openldap search returned a base64
encoded string, which I needed to decode before I could see the
encryption method prefix. Performing the same search using Iplanet's
version returned an already decoded value. It seems each client might
have a different way of handling this value's presentation.
A developer has asked me what value they should expect to get from a
call returning userpassword (this is a privileged program, running in a
controlled environment, that has read access to userpassword). Judging
from my results I'm not sure what to tell them.
I could say octet string but is that what Java will return? What about
Perl, PHP, C, or another language? Is there a defined standard for this
value?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
