Description

ApacheDS requires the salt of SSHA passwords to be 8 bytes. OpenLDAP uses 4 bytes for the salt. Migrating from OpenLDAP to ApacheDS thus causes problems as users are unable to bind if their userpassword uses a salted password scheme.

Please support variable length salts in ApacheDS so it is also possible to bind with a SSHA (or SMD5) password that contain a 4 byte salt.
