attribute type ITU-T (X.500)
2.5.4.35
userPassword
also known as User-Password
The standard password attribute. You do not read it back; the server compares it on bind. Values carry a scheme prefix such as {SSHA} or {ARGON2} so the hash format travels with the value, and it is multi-valued, which is stranger than it sounds. Send it only over an encrypted connection.
