Thanks Richard!
 
But how does Red Hat DS know that it need not rehash the password?
 
e.g. Suppose I create a ldif file saying:
userPassword=testppassword
 
and export another ldif:
userPassword=xyzRR$#==
 
First one is in plain english since I create that and second one is in hashed format because I have exported an existing user. Now if i import these 2 to another Red Hat instance how will that new instance know that second one is already hashed?
 
regards,
Ankur

They will be migrated. Red Hat DS should support all of the password
hashing schemes used by Netscape DS (unless you are using crypt or a
custom scheme).
