non-kerberos authentication against ldap server

[Dave Snoopy <kingsnoopy7@yahoo.com>]

I've setup my openldap server, and can connect to it
with the rootdn and rootpw specified in my slapd.conf
file.

I added some users too, which conform to the
inetOrgPerson schema. One thing I don't understand is
how to allow these users to authenticate against my
LDAP server (in case they want to query it). Is there
another module I need to setup on my server so that it
knows how to authenticate users? Even for simple
plaintext authentication? 

If so, how do I link that module to the actual users
in my LDAP directory? Or will that happen
automatically based on the bind dn?

I'd appreciate any help, or if someone could just
point me to some documentation.

Regards,
Dave
