Fedora directory users - Oct 2005 - crypt password with AD ?

Hi.

Is there any way to sync FDS crypt passwords with Active Directory or do
they have to be encrypted with SSHA ?

Jon

Unfortunately, the Microsoft AD password hash isn''t a supported
password
hash in FDS (or any other directory server, except AD of course).  I 
think this is because Microsoft''s hash is proprietary.  This means 
neither SSHA or crypt can directly be synced with AD.
To sync passwords, you have to use something that can catch the password 
while it''s in clear text (i.e., when the user changes it).  There is a 
Fedora "Winsync" package which I believe can help with this.

Winsync doesn''t care what hash type you use. It hooks the
plaintext password (on both ends) and sends that (via an SSL
protected session, of course).
