But if I create, with the MD5sum utility, the MD5(red), I got 1098e2cb1442f45f8ca2e74e1cd24bd0

If everything's correct it should be the same binary MD5 value but differently encoded to be ASCII-clean. The value for userPassword is base64-encoded after the password scheme identifier (here {MD5}). The command-line tool md5sum generates hex-byte encoding. Note that I didn't check whether the values you provided above are actually the same binary MD5 value. Take care of possible line-breaks or other white-space chars when using md5sum.

You should probably consider using a decent scripting language instead of command-line tools to generate values for userPassword though.
