[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#631462: slapd: Post-installation configure fails

[Schürer IT Beratung -- Urs J. Schürer]

This may have been caused by using a password that contains spaces. The reason 
for this is that the slapd's config file contains a function to generate the 
password hash:


create_password_hash() {                                                # {{{
# Create the password hash for the given password
# Usage: hash=`create_password_hash "$password"`

         slappasswd -s $1
}


That line should maybe be changed to:

	slappasswd -s "$1"

or any password containing spaces will trigger the slappasswd usage error.

It might not be a good idea to put the LDAP password into debconf.
