PHP, ldap, crypted passwords.

Hello everyone.

When I am adding a password in OpenLDAP, it is with {CRYPT} infront. How can I decrypt this password with PHP.

For example, {CRYPT}Kms8wKoBq5AWA is the hash of one password for example. The actual password is 'secret'. I tryed every php algorithm that I know.

Regards.

Re: PHP, ldap, crypted passwords.

Generally passwords stored in a encrypted format CANNOT be decrypted, this is by design.  The way you authenticate is take the password, encrypt it using the same method, and compare.  If they match you know the correct original password was supplied.

Re: PHP, ldap, crypted passwords.

The first two bytes/characters in your DES hash is called the 'salt'.  'Km' is the salt that was used to create that hash Kms8wKoBq5AWA.  You must use the same salt in your call to the PHP crypt function.
