Re: [phpldapadmin] PHP LDAP Admin User Help Needed -- LDAP User Password Retrieval

Deon,

I located the config.php file and added the following 3 lines to it:

$Config->custom->appearance['show_clear_password'] = true;
$Config->custom->appearance['obfuscate_password_display'] = false;
$servers->setValue('appearance','password_hash','');

But the password (which I specified as CLEAR on the phpldapadmin entry screen) is still being
retrieved as a hashed value consisting of 11 characters beginning with [B@ ............

What am I doing incorrectly ?

Allan,

Administrators store LDAP passwords using a format that they want - which can be in clear text (unlikely), or encrypted.

Further LDAP servers can be configured to encrypt a clear text password automatically when storing it.

Is there any way to retrieve the LDAP password in clear text for comparison and testing of the subsequent Layer 7 policy assertions ?
