Fedora Directory Users,
I have a bunch of users currently using local RHEL 4 local unix user
accounts for their usernames and passwords and I would like to migrate
them to Directory Server. My question concerns the MD5 sum password.
I tried adding a user joeltest with password joeltest and I got hash:
JqBiQXU4$gnJeKmNzXy.kaXUaBIygs0
from RHEL but I got hash:
WGvQgGYUH2UOX2ZA1IQeyQ==
This value is the base64 encoded value of the md5 digest of the password,
and is the same as the md5 digest of "joeltest":
$ echo -n "joeltest" | openssl dgst -md5 -binary | openssl base64
WGvQgGYUH2UOX2ZA1IQeyQ==

I'm guessing this is to do with further encodings placed on the password
hash. Hoping someone has done this before and can point me in the right
direction?
Thanks
