[Fedora-directory-users] windows sync and password "clear"

[Luigi Santangelo]

Hi everybody, this is my problem:
I configured my Fedora DS and now I can sync the LDAP's users with 
Windows 2003 Active Directory. Then, I created a new user with this 
code ldif

dn: uid=red,ou=Other,ou=Students,ou=People,dc=xxxxx,dc=xx
givenName: red
sn: red
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetorgperson
objectClass: ntuser
uid: red
ntUserCreateNewAccount: true
ntUserDeleteAccount: true
cn: red
ntUserDomainId: red
userPassword: redpwd
creatorsName: uid=root,ou=administrators,ou=topologymanagement,
o=netscaperoot
modifiersName: uid=root,ou=administrators,ou=topologymanagement,
o=netscaperoot
createTimestamp: 20080318153555Z
modifyTimestamp: 20080318153555Z
nsUniqueId: f8f6c801-f50011dc-80ebbfe2-cc3ccdae

Note that I wrote the user's password in "clear". Now, I can logon the 
Windows AD with the username red and the password redpwd.
Then I added another user (yellow) with this code ldif

dn: uid=yellow,ou=Other,ou=Students,ou=People,dc=xxxxx,dc=xx
givenName: yellow
sn: yellow
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetorgperson
objectClass: ntuser
uid: yellow
ntUserCreateNewAccount: true
ntUserDeleteAccount: true
cn: yellow
ntUserDomainId: yellow
userPassword: {MD5}8cb32079718c657b02bbbb176b97d030
creatorsName: uid=root,ou=administrators,ou=topologymanagement,
o=netscaperoot
modifiersName: uid=root,ou=administrators,ou=topologymanagement,
o=netscaperoot
createTimestamp: 20080318153555Z
modifyTimestamp: 20080318153555Z
nsUniqueId: f8f6c801-f50011dc-80ebbfe2-cc3ccdae

Note the MD5(yellowpwd) = 8cb32079718c657b02bbbb176b97d030
Then If I try logon the Windows AD (from Windows) with the username 
yellow and the password yellowred, I cannot log in. Instead, if I try 
logon the Windows AD with the username yellow and the
password {MD5}8cb32079718c657b02bbbb176b97d030 I can log in.
Do you think that this is a problem strictly related to Windows' 
problem? How can I get over it?
Thank you in advance.
