PAM + SMB in OpenLDAP

[Jean-Eric Cuendet <Jean-Eric.Cuendet@linkvest.com>]

Hi,
I just followed the HOWTO at
http://www.enic.fr/people/landru/lobster/openldap/openldap-authenticating-wi
th-pam.txt
and I'm now able to authenticate against SMB.

The problem I have, is that I can only bind to LDAP when setting -U
parameter to ldapsearch. I can't bind directly by using -D "cn=..."
Help please!

Must I set userPassword in LDAP to something special like:
userPassword: {SASL}testjec
or something else?

What are the valid values for userPassword?
Are the following ones OK?
userPassword: HiThere234
userPassword: {SHA}djreojShjHhd88dcjs
userPassword: {SHA1}dfdDggS87jreojShjHhd88
userPassword: {MD5}HkkfdjHJG779jsSA
?

Thanks
-jec

Below is the output of my runs.

[root@testbed openldap]# ldapsearch  -D
"cn=testjec,cn=Users,dc=linkvest,dc=com" -U testjec
SASL/PLAIN authentication started
