RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: 389-ds-base-1.2.11.12-1.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Enabling audit logging and performing a password change operation using the clear text password. Consequence: The clear text password is logged in the audit log in the unhashed#user#password attribute. Fix: Added a nsslapd-audit-logging-hide-unhashed-pw configuration attribute. If this attribute is "on", the clear text password is logged, otherwise, it is not. The default is "off" - do not log the password. Result: By default, no clear text password is logged. User can choose to log it and take appropriate security measures.

Description Noriko Hosoi 2012-06-08 16:27:01 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/365

I have an 389 DS (version 1.2.10.4)  with AD replication and I enabled 
the audit log, but when I change a user password, shows the unhashed 
password in the audit log file:

> time: 20120404113336
> dn: uid=alberto.viana,OU=G,OU=RJ,dc=my,dc=domain
> changetype: modify
> replace: userPassword
> userPassword: {SSHA}bqBSVbLJpqKCujEC2JC4ysaUUJuTsFe87AoPsQ==
> -
> replace: modifiersname
> modifiersname: 
> uid=admin,ou=administrators,ou=topologymanagement,o=netscaperoo
>  t
> -
> replace: modifytimestamp
> modifytimestamp: 20120404143336Z
> -
> replace: unhashed#user#password
> unhashed#user#password: maisumteste
> -
>
I Already know that is the expected behavior. Is there any way to disable it?

Because I need the audit log but i dont want to show up user´s password in the log file.
