But how does Red Hat DS know that it need not rehash the password?
Bec
e.g. Suppose I create a ldif file saying:
userPassword=testppassword
and export another ldif:
userPassword=xyzRR$#==
First one is in plain english since I create that and second one is in
hashed format because I have exported an existing user. Now if i
import these 2 to another Red Hat instance how will that new instance
know that second one is already hashed?
Usually when you export entries using db2ldif you will get LDIF like this:
dn: uid=scarter,....
....
userPassword: {SSHA}ls089x08sd090808sd08=
...
If you import this into RHDS, RHDS will see that userPassword is already
hashed using SSHA and will just use the value.
If you are getting the userPassword values some other way, you can just
set the value to
{scheme}base64password
e.g.
{SSHA}lsdf098asdf8z908023lj=

They will be migrated. Red Hat DS should support all of the password
hashing schemes used by Netscape DS (unless you are using crypt or a
custom scheme).
