Is the LDAP library linked into Postfix compiled with Cyrus SASL support?
The "ldapdb" auxprop plugin needs an LDAP library that can do SASL binds.
If your LDAP library is not SASL (rather than simple bind) enabled, this
may not work.
Take a look at the "Notes LDAPDB auxprop options" section of:
http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/cyrus2/options.html
for additional LDAP server-side requirements.
