Yes, I agree. Which LDAP server he's using is not the issue. I think
Matthew's point was more of "389 does this out of the box, while
OpenLDAP requires complicated configuration to enable this", so if
Volker is setting up LDAP for the first time, it might be simplest to go
with 389.

As I said earlier, I myself am not versed in setting up OpenLDAP (I use
FreeIPA, which is based on 389), but the real place to ask about
configuration issues would be on the openldap-software mailing list:
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/

It's also worth noting that there's going to be an OpenLDAP Test Day for
Fedora 14 on October 14th. This might also be a good place to ask
configuration questions:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-10-14_OpenLDAP/NSS

Finally, if your problem is urgent, try joining the IRC channel
#openldap on irc.freenode.net and ask there.
