Sure,

You can find it here:

http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-technical/201011/msg00184.html

The gist of the thread is that the poster had multiple AD servers that the
he wanted to authenticate to, and there were two solutions given:

1. Perform Kerberos authentication from saslauthd.
2. Set up a back-meta relay from within OpenLDAP to hide the AD servers
behind, and do LDAP authentication from saslauthd.

A couple of other possibilities:

If your libsasl is compiled with courier authdaemon support, you might be able to
do:

sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd authdaemond
sasl_saslauthd_path: /path/to/zimbra/mux
sasl_authdaemond_path: /path/to/courier/authdaemon

And then configure authdaemond to authenticate to AD via LDAP.
