Help with Cyrus configuration - testsaslauthd not working

[Gabriella Turek]

Hello, I am trying to set up Cyrus sasl so I can use it for pass-through authentication with OpenLDAP. The OS is SUSE sles11 and I thought I'd start with what is already there preinstalled (v.2.1.22)
I am trying to authenticate against Active Directory 2008.
My configuration file looks like:

ldap_servers: ldap://hamwdc01.niwa.local/
ldap_search_base: DC=niwa=,DC=local
ldap_scope: sub
ldap_sasl_mech: plain
ldap_auth_method: bind
ldap_bind_dn: "CN=SDT Tester,OU=NIWA Staff Accounts,OU=User Accounts,DC=niwa,DC=local"
ldap_password: mypassword
ldap_filter: (dn=%u)

When I try authenticate using testsaslauthd
I get:
>Authentication failed for some-user: Bind to ldap server failed (invalid user/password or insufficient access) (-7)

If I try a ldap_bind_dn of the form sdttester at niwa.local<mailto:sdttester at niwa.local> in the config file I get:
Authentication failed for some-user: Retry condition (ldap server connection reset or broken) (-3)

This is all very puzzling, as I can ldapsearch perfectly fine with any valid user I chose in either form (DN or userPrincipalName)

Is it possible that this installation of cyrus has not been compiled with ldap support? I would expect a bit more feedback.

I have thought about building my own version cyrus, but I have run into problems with versioning (I think)
Make fails:

I am very frustrated at this time and any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanx
