in reply to LDAP and Authentication

I believe LDAP will accept an already encrypted password. You might want to check LDAP docs to verify that it will accept it and the encrytion used to generate the password.

    I believe you're right.. from the documentation:
    Using a potentially encrypted (SSL) network connection, how do I conne +ct to my server? This class is a subclass of Net::LDAP so all the normal Net::LDAP meth +ods can be used with a Net::LDAPS object; see the documentation for N +et::LDAP to find out how to query a directory server using the LDAP p +rotocol. The connection to the server is created when you create a new Net::LDA +PS object, e.g. $ldaps = Net::LDAPS->new($server, port => '10000', verify => 'require', capath => '/usr/local/cacerts/', ); There are additional options to the LDAPS new method and several addit +ional methods are included in the LDAPS object class. For further information and code examples read the LDAPS module docume +ntation; perldoc Net::LDAPS
