  No.

  LDAP is a database, not an authentication server.

  FreeRADIUS is an authentication server.

  1) Don't authenticate to an LDAP server

  2) post enough of the debug log for people to tell what's going on.

  Odds are that the client is doing MS-CHAP or EAP.  In that case,
since LDAP doesn't implement MSCHAP or EAP, it's *impossible* to
authenticate against LDAP.

  FreeRADIUS is an authentication server.  Let it do the authentication.
