BO LDAP authentification with encrypted passwords

[Former Member]

Dear experts!

we're currently setting up a business objects landscape (SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence 4.1 Support
Pack 5 Patch 7). We successfully connected the sytsem with our central ldap (openLDAP via ldaps). Users can actually login with there ldap credentials. The only issue we face, is the following: Our passwords inside the ldap directory are encrypted (passwords starting with {SHA}...), then the login fails, it works only if the password is plain text!

Our understanding of security tells us, that it isn't a good idea to store the passwords unencrypted. Our Netweaver Portal is also able to handle the encrypted hashes, so what's wrong with our bo configuration?

Do you have an hint for us?

Kind regards,

Ben

I think for BO user u will have to keep Plan Text.

would be intresed to know wat is the error msg u recive for BILaunchpad and Client Tools

Also as far as i remember Open Ldap is still not supported in BI4. but it has nothing to do with this.
