[BlueOnyx:06328] Single sign-on

[Robert Fitzpatrick]

I would like to get SSO working with all our services. All our other
services use LDAP, I just need all the users in BO to be in LDAP as
well. Colleagues have suggested having the BO box use pam_ldap/nss_ldap
as the passwd backend, but I've had enough experiences with Cobalt/BQ/BO
to know I should workaround making changes to the underlying system. I
was thinking of a cron job that looks for changes to /etc/passwd and
then update accordingly when changes found.

My question is the underlying password encryption type. If I use a perl
script to pull the password with getpwnam(), the password comes out
encrypted. I'm hoping to just need to update LDAP with that string, but
need to know what is the encryption type? I've tried crypt, md5 and
md5crypt and then compared for testing, but no matches. Anyone think
this would work or have other solutions?
