password hashes

[Brandon McCombs <bmccombs@ma.rr.com>]

I'm gathering from reading various sites that openldap doesn't allow a 
person to specify multiple hash algorithms in the slapd.conf file. Is 
this correct?  If only one is able to be listed then when I specify a 
password in a custom client openldap will automatically hash the 
plaintext version of the password that I supply to it so that the 
password is stored in hashed form, is that correct?

One last question, if multiple hashes can't be listed in the slapd.conf, 
would a user be able to specify which type of hash he/she wishes to use 
when they go to change their password using a client or would the hash 
specifier (e.g. {MD5} ) become part of the password when that is attempted?

thanks
