[Serusers] SER+RADIUS+LDAP with encrypted passwords

Krisztián,
It depends on the hash you store in LDAP. If the hash is MD5, you can use it directly in the digest algorithm. If its SSHA1 or something, you are basically stuck.  Either store clear-text in LDAP, or forget about it.  Of course, what you can do is to implement a conversion of SSHA when users are logging in. But this is only possible if you at one point actually has the clear-text password...
