Read LDAP password in sync - v8.1

Hi Experts,

Is it possible to read LDAP passwords during sync? The aim here is to read the user passwords from LDAP into One Identity and store it on the LDAPAccount.UserPassword field.

I saw that in our schema there is a vrtPassword property but it is marked as write-only.

Thanks

Kin

Hi,

Even if you could do this there would be absolutely no point. The password in LDAP will be encrypted with whatever method is chosen. So all you'll get in OI is that encrypted password that you cannot decrypt.

This is why password updates 'from' OI typically set the password, send it, and then clear the password field in OI.

The only way this would ever work would be if the passwords were stored in the clear .... which is never going to happen.

HTH, Barry.
