That is the reason why I'm using a custom perl module in stead of the
standard ldap modules. Our AD servers don't alloiw anonymous binds,
and our password policy requires a password change every 6 weeks...
These two things together made using mod_authz_ldap impractical.

And the anonymous bind and ldap search is actually not needed when
using an MS AD server. A little know feature of MS AD is that you can
bind using "user@domain" as username. You can just test if a bind
using this user, and the password supplied by the user is successfull.
That is  what the perl module I use does. (The modules is
Apache2::AuthenMSAD)
