To do this you'd need to write a 389-ds plugin to intercept the password
change and write out the hash. You could probably extend the
ipa-pwd-extop plugin to do this as we do something similar to keep the
userPassword and kerberos credentials in sync.

You just need to be sensitive to security issues here. Passwords are
available in the clear only in this plugin so any mistake could
potentially expose them.
