Hi Fabio

If it was possible to bind with an encrypted password, and someone read 
your encrypted password, then it can authenticate. So it is useless to 
encrypt it, because it does not prevent someone to use it :-)

Anyway, it is not possible. The LDAP API needs the clear text password. 
This is not a problem, considering the explanation above.
