It depends what this password really is on LDAP side. If it's a custom
field that happen to contain a password then no XWiki does not provide
any configuration to encode a passord on XWiki side before comparing
it.

But if we are talking about a real LDAP user then this is not the
standard way to validate a user: by default XWiki is validating the
user by doing a LDAP bind with whatever user/password you are giving
it and the actual password encoding and comparison is then LDAP server
responsibility.
