I like that solution, but the implementation.... Other than installing slappasswd on all your servers, the easiest way that comes to mind is to put up a small https website on the openLDAP server, let them log in, and have some cgi or php or whatever run slappasswd, and return the encrypted password. That shouldn't be too big a deal.
