Description: The issue concerns the storage of initial LDAP passwords for new accounts in plaintext when using an LDAP server that does not utilize ldap extended operation.

Recommendations: For Mac OS X version 10.3.9, consider configuring the LDAP server to use ldap extended operation to prevent plaintext storage of initial passwords.
