Follow up to [lsc-users] passwords, base64 and ldap <http://lists.lsc-project.org/pipermail/lsc-users/2016-May/002959.html> - and slightly off topic
I'm using openldap 2.4.40 as supplied in rpm on a CentOS 7.2 (x86_64) machine, combined with LDAP Account Manager and LSC to sync users from AD to LDAP. So far, so good. It works. Obviously with separate passwords for LDAP and AD. Problem is that we're trying to use SHA-512 for passwords. This is working ok for local passwords (login.defs include ENCRYPT_METHOD SHA512), but the ldap structure for userPassword is storing SSHA. How do I get it to encrypt and store store SHA-512 passwords with one-way encryption? Seems to be details available for older openldap (slapd) using slap.conf for configuration, but this version doesn't and uses ldif files for configuration. Also, following up the first post, is a 2-way encryption algorithm really a good way of storing a password?
