Check out the LDAP v3 RFC and the authentication methods draft:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ldapext-authmeth-02.txt

How the server stores the passwords (if indeed it does at all; it can use a
third-party authentication service such as Kerberos) is orthogonal to the
LDAP protocol.
