I'm working on migrating NIS domains over to LDAP as a first-stage

Auth via postfix, but Postfix requires SASL to do that. Now, SASL
is usually used as a front-end either for Kerberos or its own
authentication back-end. Is there anyone here using SASL with LDAP
as the back-end?
Not currently using it, but I've configured a similar setup in the
past for Cyrus LDAP (which also uses SASL) to authenticate against a
LDAP tree. The chain that worked for me was:
Cyrus -> SASL -> PAM (pam_ldap) -> LDAP
In your case, s/Cyrus/Postfix and you should be in business. Are you
running into particular problems?
