How about by using saslauthd? Configure the users that need pass-through authentication with userPassword values in the form "{SASL}user@domain",

I now have it running so I will write a section for the Admin Guide explaining how to do it.

Done, and submitted as ITS#5524:

I attach the relevant chapter as an HTML file for anyone who is waiting to try pass-through authentication. Please let me know if you think of any improvements, or follow up to the thread on the openldap-its list.
