Hi
This is probably OT but I am not having much luck with google. How
can I create SSHA512 strings? I have been using either a php script
or slappasswd to create SSHA password but not sure how to do SSHA512.
openssl can create the SHA512 digest but I am not sure how to add the
random seed bit. My question probably illuminate my lack of
understanding of the subject.
Why are you pre-hashing passwords? You can set the password storage
scheme to SSHA512 in 389 and provide a cleartext userPassword value to
the server and it will hash it for you.
Actually, as a side note I would like to know how the format of {SSHA}
and friends compare to the conventional unix $1$seed$hash for MD5,
$2$seed$hash etc and so forth. Notably, is it possible to convert a
$1$xxxx into a {MD5...} or similar hash. Where is the Seed in SSHA? Is
it a fixed length?
