title: How do I store and then check a hashed password in ApacheDS?
body: <p>I'm trying to add users to an ApacheDS directory (I'm using the .NET DirectoryServices API) and I'm hitting an error when saving the entry to the directory. </p>
  
  <p>As far as I can see, the password is stored as a Salted SHA hash and in order to verify a user-entered password, I will need to know the original hash, right?</p>
  
  <p>Using Apache Directory Studio, I can see the original salt using the "Password Editor", so the salt is obviously stored somewhere, so how do I store the salt in the directory entry so that I can later retrieve it to salt and hash the user input and check against the stored password?</p>
