FWIW, LDAPv3 and related protocols and/or code expecting to obtain
authentication data from an LDAP database uses:
{crypt}SDFGgskh351!@
{md5}XXXXXXYYYYYZZZZ
(The passwords here are sames that aren't correct).
The point is that the algorithm is identified by a leading encoding
tag using the SASL ID for the thing.
