Can you give us some more details to go on? Are you using pam_ldap to
check passwords, or are you just using nss_ldap in combination with
pam_unix? What do your system logs indicate when the user's attempt to
authenticate fails?
If it's nss_ldap+pam_unix, can you read the userPassword attribute of
the user's posixAccount object when you bind to the directory
anonymously? For example, does this command give you any userPassword
values?
ldapsearch -x -h ldap.mydomain.com -b dc=mydomain,dc=com \
uid=username userPassword
My guess here is that you have an ACI on dc=mydomain,dc=com which allows
read access to any attribute except "userPassword" for anonymous users,
and because nss_ldap is binding to the directory anonymously on
pam_unix's behalf to read the attribute, pam_unix can't check passwords.
