Hi All,
I'm using Apache Directory Server 1.5.0 for our application authentication.
I need to retrieve the cleartext password (userPassword) by using JAVA API
Any idea?
It depends... If the password is stored as clear text into the server,
no problem (beside the huge security concern, of course !) : do a search
with (uid=<your user ID>) and get the userPassword attribute using JNDI.
If the password is encrypted using (S)SHA, (S)MD5 or crypt, there is no
way you can get the clear text from it.
Thanks in Advance,
