Hallo Benjamin,

yes i'm sure, that the userPassword works with the encryption
functionality. My test configuration: the ldap server with simple bind
and a uw-imapd server with pam_ldap authentication and the accounts are
stored in the ldap server. If i'm setup the password from the
testaccount with the gq: i can log in via Thunderbird. And i'm trying to
setup another password with gq and a encryption methond (sha, crypt,
md5) and i have to use this new password in Thunderbird to login.

I'm sure, that this construct works long time ago, because i'm setup
this environment one year ago under Suse Linux with Ldap and gq. Under
Suse, the gq displays the encryption function on userPassword since one
year(i think). I'm wondering why this encryption function is not
available in Debian/Ubuntu. Now i'm pretty sure, that this is only the
failing openssl-dev library on compile time, because i cannot see any
other patches in the Suse package.  I'm don't using GSSAPI only simple
with TLS.

Second i try to setup the userPassword for the administrator accounts
(example for bind dn: cn=administrator,dc=foo,dc=bar) and using the
encryption method: sha and i can successfully login with the ldapsearch
command.

I'm sure, this works and helps the administrator to working with
encrypted userPassword fields with gq.

Thanks
Herbert Straub
