Hi, base64 is not an encryption. Attributes that can not be represented as text are returned as a base64 string. This also applies for 'userPassword', since the attribute type is "octed string". You can usually identify base64 encoded attributes by a double colon (::) after the attribute name. For example: foo:: YmFyCg== instead of foo: bar To my current knowledge, this behavior can not be disabled. Regards, Christian Manal
