I am currently attempting to configure our OpenLDAP 2.4.26 (on SUSE Enterprise 10) server to act as an proxy to Active Directory as well as using a local database. The local database works fine but I cannot for the life of me get the ldap backend to authenticate/bind correctly to the AD ldap server. I can use ldapsearch to search AD just fine with the credentials passed as follows:

ldapsearch -x -h ldap.mydomain.com -D 'myldapuser' -w 'myldappw' -b 'dc=mydomain,dc=com' '(sAMAccountName=myusername)'

Returns all the associated data of "myusername" from AD.

Here is the section of my slapd.conf for my databases and backends. I have read several different sites on how to configure this and they all use different methods and claim it works for them. None has worked for me. I continue to get bind errors. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
