my question is about the compatibility with applications. today, we have some applications that uses openLDAP to create and authenticate users. Is there a way to say to openLDAP to hash received userPassword before inserting it into his database?

As the slapd.conf manpage says, the above directives tell slapd to hash the password (and how to do so) if the client changes a password using the Password Modify extended operation, but not if it uses plain Add/Modify operations.
