Hi, I'm currently implementing an ldap iPlanet connection in Java.
On our ldap server we store the user information. To check the user name and password entered on the client side against the ldap server, I construct a searchControl, e.g. (&(uid=Miller)(userPassword=Test)). The uid and userPassword are transferred to the iPlanet ldap server as plain text. My problem is that I don't get a search result if the search contains the userPassword attribute (although I do get a result if I only search for the uid). Can anyone tell me if I have to encrypt the userPassword on the client side in the same way as ldap does on the server side? Or, can I instruct the ldap server to encrypt the userPassword before starting the search? Thanks for your help. Rolf
