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

Are there other configuration commands I need to assert to ensure the password is stored in clear text ?
My current requirements are for the password to be stored, displayed, retrieved in clear text.
Later requirements will probably include encrypting it.

We are running  PHP LDAP Admin 1.2.0.4

Thanks

Al

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 ?
