Hmmm seems I have been misinformed, then. And then why does it have a field for 
'mapping' the password? Well, I think that's off-topic for the list. I'll dig 
more later today.

sipxecs internally uses LDAP bind authentication, it does not need
access to userPassword. 

See, for example, the actual code that does it via Spring framework's
LDAP Bind Authentication provider:
https://github.com/SIPfoundry/sipxecs/blob/master/sipXconfig/neoconf/src/org/sipfoundry/sipxconfig/security/ConfigurableLdapAuthenticationProvider.java#L167

I wonder what is your configuration compared to what is listed in
https://sipfoundry.atlassian.net/wiki/display/sipXecs/LDAP+Integration
-- you can send me screenshots off-list.
