I'm getting cannot verify the quality of the non-cleartext passwords error while trying to add an entry into my organizationalUnit. I use MD5 hashing method while storing password. (with userPassword attribute)

A blog post says the solution is adding ads-pwdcheckquality attribute with value of 0; but it didn't work for me. And also while trying to add this attribute; it gives a warning like this:

You don't need to add a new attribute, you need to edit the server configuration and restart:

1-Open config.ldif in the server folder, search for the string:

ads-pwdcheckquality: 2

and change it to:

ads-pwdcheckquality: 0

2-After that, restart the server and try again. The solution worked for me.

  • The answer above works, but please note that in ApacheDS 2 the attribute is called: ads-pwdCheckQuality (ie it is camel-case, not all lower-case) –  Jan 28 '13 at 18:26
  • Where exactly is this file located? I'm using apache-2.0.0-M8, and I can't find the file. – binarygiant Mar 15 '13 at 21:29
  • Found it at: /var/lib/apacheds-2.0.0-M8/default/conf and Rafael thanks for the tip on the camelCase – binarygiant Mar 15 '13 at 21:33
