Description

Cannot set a plain text password if the current is encrypted (whatever algorithm).

Steps to repeat:

1. create an "inetOrgPerson"
2. add the "userPassword" attribute, set a "Plain text" password, save
3. edit "userPassword" value
4. in the "New Password" tab, enter a password (may be the very same) in "Enter New Password" and "Confirm New Password"; in "Select Hash Method" choose an algorithm different than "Plain Text" (I used "SHA" and "SSHA-512"); finally press "OK"
5. edit "userPassword" value again
6. in the "New Password" tab, enter a password (may be the very same) in "Enter New Password" and "Confirm New Password"; in "Select Hash Method" choose "Plain Text"; finally press "OK"
7. the entry shows that the algorithm is not "Plain Text"
