No, the two colons in ldapsearch output just indicate that the attribute
value is MIME-encoded. It can be decoded for example with:

% echo e1NIQX13ak83dXhlS3FYR0NFVlhPTEVzVUo4OW9DWFE9 | mimencode -u
{SHA}wjO7uxeKqXGCEVXOLEsUJ89oCXQ=
% echo e1NIQX13ak83dXhlS3FYR0NFVlhPTEVzVUo4OW9DWFE9 | perl -e 'use MIME::Base64; print decode_base64(<>);'
{SHA}wjO7uxeKqXGCEVXOLEsUJ89oCXQ=
