iPlanet Directory Server Custom PlugIn -- Help

[indikab1]

Hi All,

I’m trying to write a custom plugin for IPlanet DS 5.1 & add it as “SLAPI_PLUGIN_PRE_ADD_FN” & “SLAPI_PLUGIN_PRE_MODIFY_FN” functions. What I’m trying to do is, get hold of users password before it get encrypted & apply some extra password “policies”. Unfortunately, when I get the “userpassword” attribute from the entry, it’s already in encrypted form. Any ideas of how to get hold of it as clear text?

Thanks,
Indi
