Binding to LDAP/SASL via PHP

[Quinn Perkins <quinn@quinnperkins.com>]

I have an OpenLDAP 2.0.23 installation running with SASL 1.5.27 to 
support a Cyrus IMAP/Postfix mail server. I would like to work with the 
LDAP directory with PHP 4.1.2.

I have another LDAP directory without SASL that I can bind to with PHP 
without any problem (all the same versions).

For some reason, it won't let me bind to the LDAP w/SASL giving me a 
"Warning: LDAP: Unable to bind to server: Inappropriate authentication" 
error and pointing to the line where I specify the password to bind with.

I've triple checked my settings and rebuilt the PHP with LDAP libraries 
compiled for SASL and can't find anything. I can use the standard set of 
ldap tools (ldapadd, ldapmodify, etc) locally on the LDAP/SASL machine 
with the same root dn and root password I am trying to use with PHP.

Is anyone using OpenLDAP, SASL and PHP? Since the root password is 
commented out and carried in SASL, and the root dn is in a different 
format ("uid=myadmin + realm=myrealm"), might there be a different 
syntax I should use my PHP commands?

Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be very much appreciated!
