Mitigation
On 389-ds-base 1.3.1 and above:
1- Deactivate clear password storing by default, to prevent new passwords to be logged.
-> in cn=config, set nsslapd-unhashed-pw-switch attribute to 'off' or 'nolog'
2- Trim changelog to ensure currently stored passwords are removed.
For Replication:
-> in cn=changelog5,cn=config, reduce nsslapd-changelogmaxentries, nsslapd-changelogtrim-interval and nsslapd-changelogmaxage
-> force a replication & wait for the changelogtrim-interval time
-> restore previous values
For RetroChangelog:
-> deactivate the plugin
-> restart directory server
-> reactivate the plugin
-> restart directory server
