I think this should be done better sooner than later to avoid more issues with OpenLDAP using NSS. See https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/762

During a security audit conducted by a senior NSS developer these enhancements were proposed:
- use PK11_KeyGen() instead of PK11_GenerateRandom() and then use PK11_ExtractKeyValue() followed by PK11_GetKeyData() to get the key data.
- include a warning about password obfuscation not increasing security directly in the source file so that people who would like to use the code see it. The current version only includes a warning in the sssd-ldap manual page only.
