[Koha] LDAP and 2.2.9 on Win32

Hi all,

I posted a request on the win32 list a few days ago regarding LDAP and 
Koha, and haven't heard a peep......so.....to widen my scope, I thought 
I'd post here as well.
If this is inappropriate please feel free to tell me to bug off.....
I'm unsure if this is specifically a Win32 issue or if it's more of a 
general Koha question.

Issue:
I'm trying to use LDAP authentication to avoid duplication of data entry 
(users/members).
I've searched and found a few tid-bits regarding Koha and LDAP, but 
couldn't really find much solid info and/or any "how-to's"

I've tried the basic renaming of Auth_with_ldap.pm....and adding my LDAP 
server info (IP and base user context), this gets me basically nowhere, 
and removes the user login/password prompt section from the Opac page.????
I assumed that this would do an anonymous bind, and then prompt for user 
credentials....this seems to to be incorrect.
Do I need to enter a specific user somewhere?

At this point the systems seem to at least see each other....

My LDAP servers eror log (10.1.1.192 is the IP of my Koha server):

I can access the LDAP server via the Softerra LDAP browser with no issues.

Does anyone have a working Auth.pm with LDAP that they could either send 
me, or cut/paste here?

Thanks for any advice.
