[KLUG Members] book suggestions for openldap

Excuse me for not having groveled long enough before the sacred (and
mostly hidden) texts of OpenLDAP, but why does slapcat(8C) print this:

userPassword:: e2NyeXB0fKjHkjhKhKhKhkHkHkHKHkHkhmLKITYesXVNdrKUTdfjNNM=

Why two colons? Why no {crypt} or {md5} tag? This is the same using
slapcat or ldapsearch(1), and I note that your presentation also has
this format? Is it because I have only one password at the moment, and
the e2NyeXB0f is code for md5?

Thanks.
