Hi, We are using Openldap for source data in our project. We need to retrieve userPassword attribute from source. So we specified userPassword under CR section. But userPassword is not showing when we search and view a user via gluu web UI. The userPassword in source openldap is non string data. There is an attribute with name userPassword under gluuPerson which is of Text type. Tried to change it to photo type but not shown in search result view. What is the right to make this working? Thanks!

You can only use 'userPassword' attribute to pull password data from backend, but make sure your Gluu Server's opendj has 'pre-encoded password' feature enabled.

Would you please share how to enable 'pre-encoded password' feature? userPassword filed in source openldap is of binary type. Is this compatible with userPassword attribute in gluu openDJ? I wonder why userPassword is not showing when I search and clickon a user link shown in result. All other details like uid, st are showing there.

``` $ dsconfig -p 4444 -h `hostname` -D "cn=Directory Manager" -j ~/.pw set-password-policy-prop --policy-name "Default Password Policy" --set allow-pre-encoded-passwords:true -X -n ``` Passwords do not show in the userview. Use `ldapsearch` or an LDAP client to check the entry to see if the userpassword is there.
