Try auth_by_bind, optionally with a "principal_name" setting, if your
version is newer than June 30, 2009, when this patch was applied:

http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=commit;h=7c2e7ad410e59d6f0c21d76859656b8aa8838ecb

principal_name is designed to compensate for the differences between
openldap and active directory.
