No bad news, don’t worry! Just a post on migrating password from /etc/shadow to Fedora Directory Server – aka port389.org

In /etc/shadow you’ll find

jon:$6$tJwPWaez$02dXHTj/olD9xG3kDZ9gG1fkdlGC3k0l

vAyFFV4hZCHMgXqUstqaS5xr.vCsBXqaFOjkkzstY9xP3jS0

:14567:0:99999:7:::

Just ldapmodify and set on

dn: uid=jon,dc=babel,dc=it
userPassword: {CRYPT}$6$tJwPWaez$02dXHTj/olD9xG3kDZ9gG1fkdlGC3k0l

vAyFFV4hZCHMgXqUstqaS5xr.vCsBXqaFOjkkzstY9xP3jS0hE19T1

and bind

# ldapsearch -x -b "dc=babel,dc=it" "uid=jon" \ 

-D"uid=jon,dc=babel,dc=it" -wguessme
