LDAP Authentication with userPassword

[jlohn]

Hello All:

I am using VoiceRD 0.11 and Asterisk 1.4.4. In my organization we use the LDAP base to authenticate everything, including email, IM and webapps, using the uid/userPassword fields. The userPassword is encrypted using MD5.
But for asterisk I have to create a new field md5secret with the realmed password or use a unencrypted version of this one.
How can I use the userPassword field, because this is not realmed?

Thanks,

Hello Josemar,

Can you please explain your setup for us a bit further?

Are you using eDirectory on VoiceRD and then using the eDir to LDAP connector, or are you trying to do a full openLDAP type installation?

Our experience has been almost entirely using Novell eDirectory as the base for the VoiceRD server itself, and then using the many available connectors to authenticate against another types of directories. (Perhaps a VoiceRD developer can comment on this further, personally I have only used eDir)

I would like to help you figure out a solution to this so that we can document it on our wiki.

Well, I am using now the voicerd 0.12 and openLDAP 2.3.1.
I can connect to it and autheticate all users and grad the information I need. It's really the best solution. But, I must create a new field for every user: a plaintext password ou a md5 hashed and realmed one.
I was wondering if there is a way of authenticate the users un the already there userPassword field that is just a md5 hash of the password.

Ok?

Thanks,
