Issue with EE 2.4

I am on EE 2.4 and it looks like one of the functions that this plugin uses has been deprecated. I am seeing the following error being thrown in my developer log

The system has detected an add-on that is using outdated code that may stop working or cause issues with the system. What does this mean?
Deprecated function hash() called in \nce_ldap\ext.nce_ldap.php on line 246.
Deprecated since 2.0. Use Security_helper::do_hash instead.

Any chance this can be patched?

This warning only means that the EE team expects to remove that function in a future release. It won't hurt anything yet.

Thanks,

Just want to make sure that this will be updated to utilize the new method. My organization uses this plugin to log in and this would be very big show stopper for us.

I'm not the developer, but this is the only change you should need (note that I have not tested it):

I made this modification in our code and it works great. I've patched it and am trying to contribute this and an Active Directory patch back to the project. Contact me for details.

The do_hash function is also pulled out of EE now. I'm using 2.10.1 as of this writing. Found an SO article that suggested changing to the native php hash function. So now change:

$encrypted_password = $this->EE->functions->hash(stripslashes($user_info['password']));

to:

$encrypted_password = hash('sha1',stripslashes($user_info['password']));
