Also, the documentation states that :

"pass=yes" doesn't work with "LDAP with auth_bind=yes,
because both of them
require knowing the user's password."

This sound strange to me since I thought "auth_bind=yes" purpose was
only to
verify the user password. So, although I understand the need to have the user
password to bind to LDAP as the user himself, I thought userdb attributes (and
thus the existence or not of the user, i.e. the purpose of "pass=yes")
weren't
retrieved with a username/password LDAP bind, even with auth_bind=yes.

Thanks.
