OK, let's get back on track. This bug was reported (by me) more than two
years ago because two modules didn't play nicely together. This issue is
not about user/password management and not even about whether passwords
should be encrypted in the database.

I actually don't expect this issue to get fixed any more, and also I
don't know about the state of authentication in the latest OpenERP
version, but we should really try to keep that a separate issue. Thanks.

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.
