[Fedora-directory-users] SSHA Seed?

[Robert r. Sanders]

That sounds reasonable; but it doesn't appear to work.  Let me go into 
the details a little more:

   1. FDS + Samba3 on one server with user's passwords stored as SSHA
      Hashed values.
   2. New OpenLDAP install on a different server (used by other services
      on that machine, and no they won't play nice w/ external ldap
      server); this server is also setup (already) to store passwords
      using SSHA.
   3. We want to copy the hashed password value from FDS and put in it
      into the OpenLDAP server as the userPassword attribute for the
      users; however the other server is using a different sha seed,
      therefore when it tries to compare the value entered by the user
      to the stored value it fails (as it is using its own seed to
      re-hash the password and do the comparison).

So that's where we stand.  Currently have been told to simply set all 
users in the OpenLDAP to a default value and make them reset their 
passwords on that server if they want to.
