Registering the Password Storage Scheme Plug-In

You must register four password storage scheme specific items with Directory Server:

• The storage scheme name that is used for the prefix

• The encode function

• The compare function

• The decode function

Notice that you provide no decoding function. In this case, Directory Server does not decode user passwords after they are stored.

#include "slapi-plugin.h"

static char * name           ="XOR";   /* Storage scheme name */

static Slapi_PluginDesc desc = {
    "xor-password-storage-scheme",     /* Plug-in identifier  */

    "6.0",                             /* Revision number     */
    "Exclusive-or example (XOR)"       /* Plug-in description */
};

    int rc = 0;                        /* 0 means success     */
