Subject: NS1 decryption

Hi,

I've been told that Solaris' NS_LDAP_BINDPASSWD could be decrypted. For
instance:

    $ ldapclient -l
    NS_LDAP_FILE_VERSION= 1.0
    NS_LDAP_BINDDN=
cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=blr03-01,dc=india,dc=sun,dc=com
    NS_LDAP_BINDPASSWD= {NS1}3d1a48xxxxxxxxx
...

The pass is {NS1}3d1a48xxxxxxxxx. Is it really possible to decode it and
get the plaintext password? I couldn't find any useful info about
decoding NS1 passwords.

Any help?

TIA
