Hey,
Is there any tool to create a hashed MD5 string ? Ldap config file can use {MD5} with MD5 string as its password and I have nothing to create that HASHED password with,
Thanks. |

A quick googling on your topic title gave me this:

md5sum, should be in coreutils.
| Code: |
echo password | md5sum -

| md5sum works fine but it doesn't fit the {MD5}(hashed MD5 string) that slapd.conf expects, anyone? |

Use the correct tool for the job!
| Code: | $ slappasswd -h '{MD5}'
New password:
Re-enter new password:
{MD5}bx7QAqtVlYWQFOvwlRUi2Q==
|
SHA1 hashing is stronger though, I think by 32 bits. (160 bits of hash space!) |

That's exactly what I needed!
Well, MD5 is enough for me since the ldap is anyway not accessible for anyone but for several internal applications.
Thanks. |

This will NOT give the md5sum for password since echo sends a newline along with password to md5sum. You'll have to use the -n option with echo to get the correct password. Without the Perl stuff the code will be
| Code: |
echo -n password | md5sum
