This would require rewriting the module, since it currently contains all 
the SHA code internally and doesn't rely on an external SSL library. 
Contributions welcome upstream, although this module really should just be 
phased out (see below).

That would break anyone who currently has SHA-512 hashes in their OpenLDAP 
instance, so probably not feasible.

People generally should be migrating away from this module to the ARGON2 
module instead though.
