[389-users] how to generate the userpassword

[Grzegorz Dwornicki]

You can use gui. Just edit user account and type thre new password.
Directory server should encypt it before updating the entry in database.

If you use slappasswd without any parameters it will ask for password and
generate sha1 hash for you. To use crypt you need to set format to crypt,
and set proper salt.

I shold have on my pc example script using slappasswd i wrote it some time
ago. I can't post it now bcause at the moment im on the bus. If no one will
post example of using slappasswd then I will later. Unless you will find
solution first.

Greg.
