Emmanuel Lécharny resolved DIRSERVER-2344.
------------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
If the password is stored hashed, then you simply aren't allowed to change it
using a simple {{MODIFY}} operation, as this operation will lookup for the
exact value you pass, when the stored value is hashed.
Using the extended operation is the way to go.
