Yes it is working now, but I don't undestand why, because on 1.3.2 I have the 
calculate_ha1 = 0 and password_colomn = password, and with plain text 
passwords on the DB and with ha1 and hb1 = NULL, and it was working !!

Also, the doc say (or I usdestand in that way ...) ...

" If the parameter is set to 1 and the username parameter of credentials 
contains also '@domain' (some user agents append the domain to the username 
parameter), then the server will use the HA1 values from the column specified 
in the 'password_column_2' parameter. If the username parameter doesn't 
contain a domain, the server will use the HA1 values from the column given in 
the 'password_column' parameter."

What I undestand from that text is that if I set calculate_ha1 to 1, if a 
@domain is part of the auth, ha1 column will be used, if not hb1 will be 
used. Those two columns are not plaintext passwords ... moreover the doc 
say ... 

"If the parameter is set to 0 then the HA1 value will be calculated from the 
column specified in the 'password_column' parameter. "

And for me that mean that if I have password_column to "password" (plaintext 
password), and calculate_ha1 = 0 ... it should works, and it works on 1.3.2 
but not in 1.5.1.
Moreover, Saul told me to set password_column = ha1 and calculate_ha1 = 0 and 
from what I unsdestand from the docs, that could not works but it works on 
1.5.1 !!! ... as I said, it's working now but I don't undestand why.
