I'm agree with ogrisel. LDAP authentication process = receive a plain text 
password. The LDAP server is responsible of checking this plain text password  
(encrypt and check if equals)

If you want to secure the login process = use SSL
/1/ HTTPS for the login page = attack "man in the middle" between the client 
and Nuxeo server is not possible
/2/ LDAPS for connecting Nuxeo server to LDAP server = attack "man in the 
middle" between Nuxeo server and LDAP Server is not possible

Even if Nuxeo server encrypts the password before authenticate against LDAP 
server, someone can intercept this encrypted password. If LDAP just check a 
equals, so this password is not stolen but the account is corrupted.

PS: Sorry for my poor english.
