  Then you don't want to authenticate users against LDAP.

  You want FreeRADIUS to read the clear-text passwords from LDAP, and
then do the authentication itself.  Remember, LDAP is a database, not an
authentication server.  FreeRADIUS is an authentication server, not a
database.

  The O'Reilly OpenLDAP book has a good chapter on getting LDAP working
with FreeRADIUS.  I recommend reading it.
