Comment: 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.
