slapd is a ldap password file system

Passwords are stored in a sha1 hash, base64 encoded.

For example
   ldapmodify -h {HOST} -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w {DIRMGR_PW}

    dn: uid=admin, ou=Administrators, ou=TopologyManagement,o=NetscapeRoot
    changetype: modify
    replace: userpassword
    userpassword: {SHA}EiAf5eICiDvUX8l+hzZuoFGD4OQ=

You can generate the passwords as follows.

Slapd 'getpwenc"...

   /opt/mps/serverroot/slapd-$HOST/getpwenc SHA topsecret

   {SHA}EiAf5eICiDvUX8l+hzZuoFGD4OQ=

Using openssl (sha1)...

   echo -n topsecret | openssl sha1 -binary | openssl base64

   EiAf5eICiDvUX8l+hzZuoFGD4OQ=


NOTE: the password is not salted, and as such is not a good password system.
Hopefully this has chnaged since I last explored "slapd".
