That means it has to be getting the user's encrypted password string
some how.

This is what I would do:

1.  Check the access log and see who the binddn of the connection that
looks up the user is (find the SRCH filter that is looking up the user
id, then grep conn=<that connection number> to see the full connection.
Find the bind associated).  This will verify the proxy account, even
though we have verified that already.

2.  Get a tcpdump of the traffic (tcpdump -i eth0 -s 1500 host ldapsrv
and port ldap ) while you are logging in.  The 'port ldap' assumes this
is going over 389 unencrypted.  If you are using TLS, you will need to
disable it so you can get a good tcpdump of the LDAP session.  Once you
have this, load it up in ethereal, and start looking at the LDAP
packets.  You will be able to expand out the searches, and results.  The
important thing here is to make sure that when userPassword is requested
(will be several times) that a response is never given in the search
result.

3.  In the console, right-click on the tulsa user, and select "Set
Access Permissions".  When that box comes up, select the "Show Inherited
ACIs"  Review all those to make sure that some place along the way read
access was not granted to the userPassword attribute.

	If we get this far without figuring it out I will be at a loss.... I am
running out of ideas 8-)
