You should use <AuthBy LDAP2> and perl-ldap (see below).
Be wary of trying to use OpenLDAP - we have had a number of customers report
problems using it - YMMV. We have successfully tested with the University of
Michigan LDAP and Netscape LDAP.
If you do succeed with OpenLDAP, we would be very interested to hear what you
had to do to make it work. We will put an entry in the FAQ so others can
benefit from your endeavours.
