Envryption of the userPassword attribute is done by the LDAP server.
The attribute is stored as {ENC_TYPE}HASH where ENC_TYPE is the valid
encryption types supported by the LDAP server (CRYPT,MD5,SHA1 ...) and
HASH is the encrypted password. QMAIL-LDAP simply attempts to bind to
the LDAP server as the DN using the user supplied password. If it works
the password is correct. QMAIL-LDAP doesn't need to know how the
password was encrypted. This also allows you to have different
encryption settings for users so you can migrate to a new scheme
