Subject: [exim] userPassword at LDAP lookup always empty
Hello,

I would like to retrieve the ?userPassword value with a LDAP lookup, but
it is always empty. But this seems to be removed either by exim or the C
client lib. When I connect with Java, I can retrieve this field.

The LDAP is only used internally and I need other fields of the LDAP
entry as well. Therefor I don't want to separately try a LDAP connect to
test if ther credentials are ok and then a second time to retrieve other
fields.

So how can I get the value of userPassword and do the comparison
manually? We are only using MD5 crypt passwords.

Regards
Marten
