{SHA} works as well

If you put IPA into migration mode then you can set a password on
user-add via --setattr userPassword= . Note that it is important
to do it in one step and not add user, then set password. You'll then
need to migrate the password to create Kerberos credentials either by
authenticating via SSSD or on the IPA web page.
The trick is having the hash in a format acceptable to 389-ds. I know it
works with crypt, you just need to prefix it with {crypt}. For
other formats, I don't know.
