Hi, I was wondering if there is support for bcrypt password hashes in OpenLDAP. I've never worked with OpenLdap before so pardon my ignorance. On googling it seems like OpenLDAP can store passwords in cleartext, as encrypted strings, or as hashes (one-way algorithms). If it supports then how can we enable it in Gluu ? Thanks

Hi Ved, A quick Google search let us known that the bcrypt hashing is not provide by default with OpenLDAP. But some initiative has been taken in that sense. See the bellow links for more details. 1. https://github.com/wclarie/openldap-bcrypt 1. https://github.com/osixia/docker-openldap/issues/150 Gluu for this moment don’t support bcrypt password encription. We may add that in our features list for future release.

Actually, bcrypt plugin is included with the Gluu OpenDJ distribution. Check OpenLDAP documentation for how to configure.
