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.
