Imagine the following python example:

l = ldap.open("127.0.0.1")	
username = "cn=Manager, o=anydomain.com"
password  = "secret"
l.simple_bind(username, password)

If the server receives the password hashed, then it can't bind to the ldap server, because the function bind need the password argumento to be not hashed.
