RE: OpenLDAP 2.4 authentication methods

But if I go direct to AD LDAP with UPN it works fine, and I am not sure where the authentication is actually performed in Proxy mode, weather it is authenticated on the openldap side or if the credentials are passed straight through without any processing in openldap.

Simple LDAP Bind with userPrincipalName instead of a Bind-DN is a AD-specific
thing. You have to fix your client apps.
