If you select "simple," ApacheDS employs simple password-based authentication, meaning the password travels in plaintext form over the network.

如果选择“simple”，则ApacheDS采用基于口令的简单身份验证，这意味着口令以明文方式在网络上传递。

If you select "strong," a hashed value of the user's password (instead of the actual password in plaintext form) travels to ApacheDS for authentication.

如果选择“strong”，那么用户口令以散列值形式(而不是明文形式的实际口令)传递给ApacheDS进行身份验证。

Moreover, the password needed for authentication is also transmitted as plaintext when a connection to POP server is established, which may result in the stealing and divulging of the email.

另外在连接服务器(pop)时，传送的验证密码也是以明文形式传送的，同样容易引起密码的泄露，最终导致邮件被盗、泄密等。
