Example 1

Typing pwdcrypt at the prompt returns 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 like this:

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