[jira] Updated: (DIRSERVER-1375) Support variable length salts for SSHA and SMD5

["Emmanuel Lecharny (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1375?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Emmanuel Lecharny updated DIRSERVER-1375:
-----------------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 1.5.5

We wrongly assumed that the Salt was 8 bytes long, when it's can be of variable size. It should not be a problem to allow shortest Salt to be used in ADS, as the hashed part is always 20 bytes for SHA1 (16 for MD5). it's just a matter of grabbing the rest of the bytes, and consider it as the salt.

I will implement that right now.

> ApacheDS requires the salt of SSHA passwords to be 8 bytes. OpenLDAP uses 4 bytes for the salt. Migrating from OpenLDAP to ApacheDS thus causes problems as users are unable to bind if their userpassword uses a salted password scheme.
> Please support variable length salts in ApacheDS so it is also possible to bind with a SSHA (or SMD5) password that contain a 4 byte salt.
