LIMITATIONS
When used interactively, passwords generated with this command are
propagated with the ldappasswd(1) command. Thus, the resulting format
depends on the 'password-hash' option of your server's slapd.conf(5)
file.
You can always force an encoded password (using the hash format of your
choice) by specifying it on the command line.
