[Fedora-directory-users] SSHA Password hash function

[Radek Hladik]

Hi all,
I'm trying to get working SSHA password generation in JavaScript. I've 
found interesting topic which I want to ask about.

Is there any presumption about salt length? I've tried salt "saltedsalt" 
and password "abcd". It produced string 
{SSHA}/OwjNeakcceT6szrxGOMHUb53XJzYWx0ZWRzYWx0 which when inserted into 
userPassword attribute crashed slapd daemon when the user tried to log 
on. With random salt of length 13 everything works fine. Maybe there is 
some mistake related to base64 padding, but even with one or two 
trailing = this hash crashed the slapd daemon.

FDS is 1.0.2
