Thanks to you both for your quick response.

Sébastien - You were correct, I forgot to add unicodePwd as a string in the
fetchedAttributes section of the destination service. It appears to be
working now.

That also remedied the msDS-AccountDisabled issue - the accounts are now
enabled on creation when they're given a valid unicodePwd.

Clément - If I understand you correctly, as long as the userPassword is
stored in clear text in OpenLDAP (and I have that attribute in the
fetchedAttributes section of the source service), I would use something
like:

<dataset>
  <name>unicodePwd</name>
  <policy>FORCE</policy>
  <createValues>

<string>AD.getUnicodePwd(srcBean.getDatasetFirstValueById("userPassword"))</string>
  </createValues>
</dataset>

The above throws an exception for me - I'm assuming it's a syntax error?

thanks,

aaron
