Everything works as expected, except for one problem. When libcrypt is linked to libscrypt fpsrvadm.exe creates a encrypted MD5 password that is 33 characters in length, while passwd and htpasswd creates a encrypted MD5 password that is 34 characters. I believe the problem to be that the buffer that fpsrvadm.exe is using to store the encrypted password is less than 34 characters. Is my assumption correct? What length is the MD5 password supposed to be? Thanks, Scot P.S. Send me any replies.
