LDAP, DirectoryService and loginwindow in Tiger



In Tiger, it looks like loginwindow's authentication is using
dsAuthMethodStandard:dsAuthNodeNativeCannotUseClearText rather than
dsAuthMethodStandard:dsAuthNodeNativeCanUseClearText

However, the LDAPv3 plugin appears to only understand {crypt} and
{SMD5} format passwords. Generally it is recommended that {SHA1} or
{SSHA1} is used.

The manifestation of this is that you can't log in to the GUI whilst
authenticating against an LDAP server whose user accounts have
passwords stored in SHA-1 hashes, but you can log in using ssh (and
possibly other stuff).

Have I missed something? If not, I'll file a bug :-)
