mod_authnz_ldap requires HTTP Basic Authentication, which doesn't have
any provision to encrypt the password separately from the rest of the
connection.

mod_authnz_ldap doesn't work with Digest authentication -- I don't think it can.

What does your client support that would need a "fixed" mod_authnz_ldap?
