LDAP DIGEST-MD5 changes in security?

["Ben Booble" <oneoutof100@hotmail.com>]

Hi people,

Probably have a simple question.  I have set up my 
openldap-servers-2.1.30-2.1010mdk server using sasl2-digest-md5 and 
everything is going along swimmingly.

However some significant change seems to have occured.  In previous versions 
I was under the impression that when running the above setup that passwords 
in clear text were needed.  I have my passwords in md5 crypts and they are 
working perfectly while definitely using the digest-md5 authentication.

I am not complaining at all, I just want to know if this is what is expected 
or does it point to a security flaw in my setup?

The manual still says to do the setup with clear text.  I am not upto date 
on all the latest openldap developments.

Cheers,

Ben
