This bug still exists.  People below have simply changed their LDAP search path
so that they no longer see the referrals.

Essentially if your AuthLDAPURL is:
ldap://<IP_ADDRESS/HOSTNAME>/dc=<DOMAIN>,dc=com,dc=au?sAMAccountName

Your search will return three references:
eg:
-----------------
# search reference
ref:
ldap://ForestDnsZones.<DOMAIN>.com.au/DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=<DOMAIN>,DC=com,DC=au

# search reference
ref:
ldap://DomainDnsZones.<DOMAIN>.com.au/DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=<DOMAIN>,DC=com,DC=au

# search reference
ref: ldap://<DOMAIN>.com.au/CN=Configuration,DC=<DOMAIN>,DC=com,DC=au
# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 5
# numEntries: 1
# numReferences: 3
-------------

auth_ldap will attempt to contact these references to perform a search.

>From my research OpenLDAP will attempt an anonymous bind to these referrals, it
will not use the BindDN (Active Directory doesn't allow anonymous binds)

So looking up these referrals will always fail.

Most of the time this can be worked around by changing the AuthLDAPURL to start
searching deeper down in the tree, thereby avoiding the referrals.
eg: 
cn=Users,dc=<DOMAIN>,dc=com
OR
ou=something,dc=<DOMAIN>,dc=com

Unfortunately however, when you need to search two OUs, eg:
ou=A,dc=<DOMAIN>,dc=com  AND ou=B,dc=<DOMAIN>,dc=com

you have no choice but to start search at the top of the tree.

Suggested fixes:

1.) Allow multiple AuthLDAPURL directives, which will be searched in turn.

2.) Add a directive to disable following referrals.  By default ldap_init() (In
the OpenLDAP library) sets LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS (follow referrals).
