pwdcrypt

Examples

Example of pwdcrypt – Enter pwdcrypt at the prompt to return a request to enter your password twice, after which pwdcrypt returns the LDAP password:

pwdcrypt
Enter password please: password
Enter password again : password

The encrypted password: 
0x01312a775ab9d5c71f99f05f7712d2cded288d0ae1ce79268d0e8669313d1bc4c706

Replace the last part of the LDAP URL in libtcl.cfg with this encrypted password:

ldap=libsybdldap.so
ldap://dolly:389/dc=sybase,dc=com????bindname=cn=Manager,dc=sybase,dc=com?
0x01312a775ab9d5c71f99f05f7712d2cded288d0ae1ce79268d0e8669313d1bc4c706

An unencrypted password looks similar to:

ldap=libsybdldap.so
ldap://dolly:389/dc=sybase,dc=com????bindname=cn=Manager,dc=sybase,dc=com?
secret

Permissions

Use file system permissions to prevent unauthorized access to this encrypted password in your libtcl.cfg file.
