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.
