Hi guys,

I set up freeipa 4.0.0 on a brand new Fedora 20 box, from your copr repos. 
Install and config went fine. Kinit: fine. Trying to migrate from my old ldap 
setup: problem.  Old ldap setup primarily had accounts for web apps 
(inetOrgPerson) and a few accounts with everything needed for login 
(posixAccount).

"Ipa migrate-ds" for the existing posixAccounts: works fine.

Migrating the web only accounts requires a bit more manual labor, and isn't 
working yet. I extracted a csv of my "web-only" accounts and made a script to 
upgrade them with posix attributes and add them to freeipa. Each line looks 
like:

ipa user-add "bill.mathews" --last="Mathews" --first="William" --email="blah" 
--phone="xxx-yyy-zzzz" --setattr userpassword="{SHA}bunchajunka" --setattr 
o="University of Tweedle" --gidnumber=65534 --uid=2000063

And I get:

ERROR: Constraint violation: invalid password syntax - passwords with storage 
scheme are not allowed

I was inspired to include the password this way from:  
http://www.freeipa.org/page/NIS_accounts_migration_preserving_Passwords

Is there any password preserving way to migrate my web-only accounts using "ipa 
user-add"? If there's no easy answer, I'll probably just add the attributes in 
the current ldap, then let "ipa migrate-ds" work its magic. But I want to see 
user-add work if its possible.

Thanks,
Bryce
PS: I believe all instances of "service dirsrv restart" on 
http://www.freeipa.org/docs/master/html-desktop/index.html#finding-excluding-entries
 need to be changed to "systemctl restart dirsrv.target", since there is no 
"dirsrv.service".
