Migrate encryped password from existing LDAP directory

Hi,

I have a list of usernames and encrypted passwords from an existing IMAP/LDAP server which I need to migrate to Scalix.

I am not able to contact each user to supply them with a new password so I really need to be able to make use of the existing password hash I have for them.

I tried creating an LDIF file and importing it with the omldapmodify command, but I get "Insufficient access" when trying to use the sxqueryadmin account.

userPassword: {MD5}fQKzT...

ldap_modify: Insufficient access

I was hoping to avoid the extra steps and mess of removing the omslapd directory and using OpenLDAP.

Is there a Scalix utility to manage hashed passwords and to properly back up the LDAP directory? Or is there a "root" user for omslapd?

Thanks,

i.
