PCNS & FIM question

Hi,

When PCNS intercepts the password change on a DC, what format does it send the password to FIM in? is it clear text?

I am asking this because we require to sync AD passwords with a systems where we do not have a Management Agent for (via FIM).

Came across this script, and was wondering if it can be used for password sync & FIM?
