No. Btw it seems MSAD requires ldap over SSL (ldaps://hostspec:636) if we
want to initialize users and passwords through ldap binding. 
Last year I wrote an extension of the Auth_ldap class called Auth_msad
because I didn't want to have to configure a hook for authentication (it was
against H 3.0): maybe the way is to separate AD specifics from non-AD
servers in Password application and in Auth class? The way AD stores dates
and manages expiration date of password seems to be really specific too.
