[jira] Created: (DIRKRB-29) Using randomKey creates a valid LDAP login

Using randomKey creates a valid LDAP login
------------------------------------------

                 Key: DIRKRB-29
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRKRB-29
             Project: Directory Kerberos
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Andreas Oberritter
            Assignee: Emmanuel Lecharny
             Fix For: 2.0.0


Setting userPassword to "randomKey" triggers the generation of Kerberos keys. However, "randomKey" also gets stored as the real LDAP users password. This creates accounts with easily guessable DNs like uid=krbtgt,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com, which can be used to access the LDAP server.

Kiran Ayyagari commented on DIRKRB-29:
--------------------------------------

We don't have much time to fix this now, kerberos will be our next priority after releasing ApacheDS 2.0.
