Only bind user can connect to Postfix server using LDAP

I have a functioning Active Directory server, but whenever I try to authenticate against the Postfix server that uses it (with saslauthd) I notice that only the bind user can connect. Whenever I try to connect to the server with valid credentials, it does not work.



Any idea as to where I can debug why only the bind user can log in?
I know it's possible, because I have another setup with Postfix authenticating against LDAP with all users, but I cannot seem to figure out what the difference is between those.

          Shortly after posting this question, I found the answer myself.



          The problem was that my ldap_search_base had the bind user cn=postfix in /etc/saslauthd.conf. After changing the search base to the Users OU, it started to work :)
