First of all.. | <!--module-option name="hashAlgorithm">MD5</module-option> | <module-option name="hashEncoding">HEX</module-option--> | | did you comment out the hash algorithm?? (with <!--) second try to remove hash encoding property.. and third.. browse your LDAP store.. and show me(post it here) your hashed password with MD5.. I'm thinking that posibble have the same problem that i have with OpenDS.. (OpenDS use a schema that append the hash algorithm used to the hash password. Ex: {SHA}jk432lkj432j4j32l432.. do you look something like this in Fedora DS? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4143581#...
