Thank's to all, there was a trouble in my program and it never tried the
Net::LDAP::Extension::SetPassword as i supposed it was doing.
With this module it worked fine, but always using SMD5, i just give it the
password without encoding or encoding type heading.
I will check if there is a chance to use other encodings with this module an
post later.
I have to say that the traditional replace way (not setpassword) using the
password in clear like this stores it in clear in the ldap server.
Thank you
Hans
