Thanks for the example code. I guess I was a little confused about where 
the encryption took place. So now I understand that if I want to add an 
encrypted password in ldap I would do the encryption myself, prefixing the 
encrypted password with the encryption type (ie '{SHA}'). Then I add the 
password as a value of userPassword.
