The openldap administratorsguide chapter 10 talks about openldap using sasl for
strong authentication.
1)The midgard-LDAP patch will store passwords in LDAP and
2) SASL can use them for strong authentication

Is there something I got wrong here?

10.2.3. DIGEST-MD5

This section describes the use of the SASL DIGEST-MD5 mechanism using secrets
stored either in the directory itself or in Cyrus SASL's own database.
DIGEST-MD5 relies on the client and the server sharing a "secret", usually a
password. The server generates a challenge and the client a response proving
that it knows the shared secret. This is much more secure than simply sending
the secret over the wire.
