To echo what Mark has said here, MD5 today should be considered as equivalent 
to "cleartext" storage. Generally any storage scheme less than SSHA512 should 
not be used for a variety of security and compliance reasons. 

If you are using MD5 for one of the SASL MD5 mechanisms, these are also 
considered insecure, and you should opt for LDAPS (TLS) with simple bind or 
SASL-PLAIN instead.
