[classlib][auth]To get one file from Apache DS project.
Hi, all:
During implementing JndiLoginModule, I found we need a widget to
generated crypted unix password[1].
And there is a implementation for this encrypt algorithm in
apache DS project[2]and it can save us reinventing wheels. I intend
to include it as part of Harmony's code base and I recommend it be
treated as an external link since the algorithm seems requiring no
further maintain.
One concern is that the file itself is not implemented by apache
DS project and it has its own license although it has also been under
APL. But I think it is OK for us. Any suggestion?

javadoc says:
"...The format in which the user's information must be stored in
the directory service is specified in RFC 2307. ...
This LoginModule assumes that the password is stored as a byte
array, which when converted to a String, has the following format:
"{crypt}encrypted_password"
"
And "crypt" denotes that the password is encrypted by the schema of
crypt() unix call.

Leo, IANAL, but if the original author can reserves all rights then we
can just take it since this seems in conflict to the Apache License. I
would have expected copyright (and associated rights) to be transferred
to Apache when the code is incorporated into an Apache project?
