So the mac finds that CRAM-MD5 is not available, and does nothing at all?

Note that Digest-MD5 requires that the directory server store the 
password in clear text.  This is because the directory server must use 
the clear text password to generate the challenge for the client.  This 
prevents any clear text passwords from being sent across the wire, as is 
done with a regular simple DN and password BIND operation.
