In 2.2.* we were passing MD5 encoded password via UI. For Acton it changed =
to unencrypted password as that was the only way to have external systems t=
o authenticate cloudstack users for example external LDAP.
This is being reverted back to MD5 encoded password in 3.0.2 as it was. It =
will be left to the admin to configure this encryption mechanism in case LD=
AP is in use.

I thought we always sent MD5 hashed passwords from UI to MS.  Can you expla=
in the change a bit more?
