Hi

I used below script to assign password(123.com) to user test1 account 
which has no password assigned  and it does assign the password, when 
try to login as user test1 with password 123.com, am unable to login. 
Assigned passwords to few test accounts using below script and same 
issue unable to login.  

# ./script   test1   123.com
######### START ######################################
#!/bin/ksh  -x
uid=$1    ;     password=$2
PASSWD=`slappasswd  -v  -h {SSHA}   -s  "$password"`

ldapmodify  -x  -D  "cn=Directory Manager"  -w  `cat /tmp/p`   <<  ALLDONE
dn: uid=$uid,ou=People, dc=trust, dc=co, dc=uk
changetype: modify
add: userpassword
userpassword: "$PASSWD"
ALLDONE
######### END ####################

When I export the database do see the the userPassword entry as :-
userPassword: {SSHA}Q7B+QFu2iRXxH8Ys8bfW/i3O0HrjSKfwbZHn4A==

In the script I also tried PASSWD=123.com , still the same , unable to 
login.

Any helpers to why above script assigns the password but unable to login 
and what should I do so am able to login.

Thanks

Regards
Dharmin
