LDAP Folks,
I recently reported a problem where I could change a password in
Oracle's OID using a generic LDAP client written in Java, but
couldn't do the same with Net::LDAP.
I was able to get the OID admin to turn on logging and give me
access to the logs. That solved the mystery.
Oracle was enforcing its password policy where the password must
contain at least 1 digit. But it was not enforcing this policy
when using the Java client. That's because (I'm reasonably sure)
the Java client was sending the password already hashed, so there
was no way for OID to apply its password quality rules. But when I
submitted a new password via my Perl script it was in clear text.
