William,

I'm just a little bit confused about pwadmin concept vs nsslapd-allow-hashed-passwords. Once I turned on nsslapd-allow-hashed-passwords, it's no supposed to only users in my pwadmin(group/users) to be allowed to add pre-hashed password?

Thanks

Alberto Viana

Remember to *unset* it after you make your change, else anyone with write to userPassword can bypass your password policy. Generally this means a userc that is able to change their own password through a self mod, can then bypass pwpolicy.

It's not recommended to allow pre-hashed password upload in production long term, so as mentioned enable it, load the one password, then disable it.
