+1 all passwords should be encrypted by default, including the main
admin password which essentially should be locked in a safe and not used
by anyone except in an emergency. The regular admins should have their
own username for regular admin tasks, which also allow auditing of what
the admin does.

Title:
  base_crypt and users_ldap don't work together

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed and configured users_ldap so that all of my users can login using their credentials stored in OpenLDAP, which worked fine. Then I installed base_crypt (with the intention of all other passwords in the db, for non-ldap-users like 'admin') being encrypted. However, this prevents all LDAP users from logging in.
  I suppose that base_crypt tries to authenticate the user and if this fails, login fails, without users_ldap trying to authenticate. I think this behaviour should be changed towards:
   1. Check whether user can login using the (possibly encrypted) password in the database.
   2. If not, check whether user can login using the LDAP password.
   3. If now, refuse access.
  Right now, the second step seems to be omitted when base_crypt is used.
