[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#746727: slapd: Please include slapd-sha2 contrib module

[Michael Przybylski]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.4.31-1+nmu2
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

I ran into a particularly vexing problem with OpenLDAP:
I populated a user record with a SSHA-512 user password via Apache Directory
Studio and could verify that the password was correct, but I always got an
"invalid credentials" error when trying to bind with that dn and password.

As a workaround, I changed the userPassword fromat to SSHA, and was able to
bind successfully.

Could you please build and include this module with the slapd package?
https://github.com/gcp/openldap/tree/master/contrib/slapd-modules/passwd/sha2

Furthermore, would you please consider loading it by default when debconf
builds a new slapd.d?

Both actions would greatly improve the security and usability of OpenLDAP on
Debian.

Best regards,
Mike Przybylski
