Most of the mechanisms that can take plaintext passwords can also take the
hashes, the problem is that the type of hash they need varies based on
mechanism.

This is, by the way, how the database conversion works.

So, any auxprop plugin that can return either a hash of the correct format
for the mechanism via the "cmusaslsecret(MECHNAME)" properties, or a
plaintext password via the userPassword property should be doing "the
right thing"
