If the user performs a successful bind, and the material used has a different hash algorithm than the configured default, it will be re-hashed and saved.

If the hash is the same, no action is taken.

There is a strange phenomenon where sometimes the answer from the ldap-server gives the wrong password hash algorithm. Our global password policy storage scheme is set to SSHA. When I perform a ldapsearch as directory manager I see that the password hash for a given user is {SSHA}inserthashedpasswordhere. But when I run tcpdump to see what our radius is being served I see {PBKDF2_SHA256}someotherhash around 50% of the time. Sometime another request from radius a few seconds after the first one gives the correct {SSHA} response.
