Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ldap-auth-config
Looking at ldap-auth-config 0.5.2 in Intrepid.
More of a "fit-and-finish" issue, but compare the Default: value below,
and the blurb for the "crypt" option:
Template: ldap-auth-config/pam_password
Type: select
Choices: clear, crypt, nds, ad, exop, md5
Default: md5
Description: Local crypt to use when changing passwords:
The PAM module can set the password crypt locally when changing the
passwords, which is usually a good choice. Specifying something other than
clear ensures that the password gets crypted in some way.
.
The meanings for selections are:
.
clear - Don't set any encryptions. This is useful with servers that
automatically encrypt userPassword entry.
.
crypt - (Default) make userPassword use the same format as the flat
filesystem. This will work for most configurations.
.
nds - Use Novell Directory Services-style updating by first removing the
old password and then update with a cleartext password.
.
ad - Active Directory-style. Create a Unicode password and update the
unicodePwd attribute.
.
exop - Use the OpenLDAP password change extended operation to update the
password.
.
md5 - Use the stronger md5 algorithm instead of standard crypt.
