you need to do a search for the correct DN first. here's our
definition:

  server_condition = \
      ${if ldapauth \
           {user=${lookup ldapdn \
                          {LDAP_BASE?dn?one?uid=${quote_ldap_dn:$2}}} \
            pass=${quote:$3} \
           ldaps://LDAP_SERVER}{yes}{no}}


we need this since our RDN looks like "uniquemember=59104" which makes
it impossible to generate it from the username. in your case, you'll
probably need to adjust the scope to "sub".
