SSHA is Salted SHA. The difference between SSHA and SHA is the salt
used in the beginning (which is also why you can get different values
out for the same input, which makes it harder to crack). I think
SSHA is what openldap tends to use when you set a password field.
However, in the slapd.conf file I think it is supposed to be
plain-text. So either change that line to read rootpw password or
type in '{SSHA}JuaWFhw+AXDgppTgOJPtpZARL1PpWRoj' as the password.
When I set up openldap it was a plain-text entry in the config file.
