CloudStack changed password encoding in 4.2 (I believe, but I seem to remember, but can't find documentation that it changed in 4.1) such that it no longer assumes that passwords are MD5s coming in. It instead expects that passwords are passed as plain text and are encoded by CS internally according to how it is configured to store passwords. Documentation is at:
http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.2.0/html/Installation_Guide/management-server-install-flow.html#password-storage-engine This threw me off as well and applies to both logins and user/account create.
