Not sure if this exists yet.

When creating a new LDAP user, the default password setting/encryption is CLEAR?????

This is a problem, for example, When using Softerra's LDAP browser, anyone is able to view the password, without even authenticating, in plain text. I do not think this is a good practice, at least for the default.

I reccomend SSHA, and as the Default. It will work with Almost any Linux Distro.

My Specs:
CentOS 6.4
PHPLDAPAdmin 1.2.3
OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.23

Login to PHPLA --> Create Child Entry --> Create Generic User Account -->

to the right of the two password lines, the default is clear, and would be much better if it was SSHA
