[jira] [Commented] (DIRSTUDIO-738) Modular Crypt Format Salts are incorrectly displayed

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-738?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13072698#comment-13072698 ] 

Stefan Seelmann commented on DIRSTUDIO-738:
-------------------------------------------

Can you explain how salts should be displayed? Do you mean they should be be prefixed with "$x$"? In LDAP the passwords are prefixed with "{schema}" which is defined in RFC 2307 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2307#section-5.3

> CRYPT passwords embed multiple values into a single field, in particular the algorithm and the salt used. This method is known as Modular Crypt Format

> When given a userPassword field described using this system, the "show password details" display on the value editor gets the salt wrong and fails to verify.
