If the server has the plain-text password in its databases, and the user
sends a {ssha} (etc) password in the bind, the server should be able to
compare them and authenticate the user.

If the server has the {ssha} (etc) password in its databases, and the user
sends a {ssha} (etc) password in the bind, the server should *not* be able
to compare them and thus *not* be able to authenticate the user.
But it does really depend on how your server is implemented.
