I have a script that tries to sync a userdatabase with plaintext username/password in mysql, to a Centos Directory Server. Currently I've been pushing the passwords into the directory by first creating the SSHA1 hash in python and store '{SSHA}' + encode-string in the password field.
But, it occurred to me that I'm not fully sure what I'm doing when creating the SSHA1 hash, so it would be nice to have the directory server do the hashing instead. I've found the method: passwd_s(user, oldpw, newpw, [serverctrls=None, [clientctrls=None]]) but are there any way to use that when I don't know the plaintext 'oldpw' ? -jf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Python-LDAP-dev mailing list Python-LDAP-dev@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/python-ldap-dev
