I believe LDAP will accept an already encrypted password. You might want to check LDAP docs to verify that it will accept it and the encrytion used to generate the password.

I believe you're right.. from the documentation:

Using a potentially encrypted (SSL) network connection, how do I conne
+ct to my server?
This class is a subclass of Net::LDAP so all the normal Net::LDAP meth
+ods can be used with a Net::LDAPS object; see the documentation for N
+et::LDAP to find out how to query a directory server using the LDAP p
+rotocol. 

The connection to the server is created when you create a new Net::LDA
+PS object, e.g. 


  $ldaps = Net::LDAPS->new($server,
                           port => '10000',
                           verify => 'require',
                           capath => '/usr/local/cacerts/',
                           );
There are additional options to the LDAPS new method and several addit
+ional methods are included in the LDAPS object class.
