[Dovecot] LDAP with Active Directory

Hello,
I have successfully used dovecot 1.0 Beta 9 to do SASL authentication for
postfix using the unix passwd/shadow files. 
 
 I need to authenticate with a windows 2003 server using active directory.
My system does not support PAM (I'm using slackware) so I cannot take that
route.  I do not need to use dovecot for POP or IMAP at the present time and
so I would like to avoid modifying my active directory schema.
 
Dovecot seems to be communicating with the active directory server, however
it is sending an authentication failure to postfix: 
 postfix/smtpd[24540]: warning: unknown[XXX.XXX.XXX.X]: SASL LOGIN
authentication failed: UxxvcmxxQ6
 
I don't see any messages in the log from dovecot.
 
Here is my dovecot-ldap.conf:
 
hosts = 192.168.1.2:389
dn = "cn=dovecot,cn=Users,dc=DOM,dc=local"
dnpass = "password"
auth_bind = yes
ldap_version = 3
base = cn=Users,dc=DOM,dc=local
deref = never
scope = subtree
default_pass_scheme = CRYPT
user_global_uid = 900
user_global_gid = 900
 
Can someone point out what I am missing?  I can't find documentation on this
type of setup.
 
Thanks in advance.
