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).

Don't map the password attribute in the LDAPv3 Plug-in. DirectoryService will perform an LDAP bind to authent the user. iirc it will to aCRAM-MD5 bind if the server is capable. If I were you I'd disable clear-text binds. Or use ssl. At any rate giving the OS access to the hashes is a bad idea, since someone could brute force them.
