In some use-cases it is better to do client-side hashing. Especially if you
want to set more attributes together with attribute 'userPassword' in a single
modify request (which means single transaction).


I still prefer using Password Modification extended operation. I can use smbk5pwd to automatically update also all the other relevant informations (sambaPwdLastSet, sambaLMPassword, sambaNTPassword), having a much simpler code. It's unfortunate that the patch to update also shadowLastChange was not applied.
