Further
Information
You can no longer choose to encrypt passwords using the
NS-MTA-MD5 password storage scheme. The storage scheme is
still present but only for reasons of backward compatibility; i.e., if
the data in your directory still contains passwords encrypted with
the NS-MTA-MD5 password storage scheme. See chapter 7, “User
Account Management,” in the Red Hat Directory Server
Administrator’s Guide.
