Hmm, that's a bummer, I was just about to avail of rename_principal
functionality with an LDAP backend as part of a realm rename we have coming
up :(. I was planning to rename everything and then rename it back in order
to hardcode the correct salt before changing the realm name and avoid having
to reset passwords. Given this bug, I guess I would have to dump the
database, load it into bdb, do the renames, dump it again, and then load it
back into ldap?

Can you think of any easier way to store the correct salt with a principal
before a realm rename?

Thanks.
