  Please do not post the configuration files to the list.  You've sent
over a LOT of data, much of which is unchanged from the files that ship
with the server.

  The only relevant portion is the following from the debug output;

  This is in the FAQ.  You have not installed or built the rlm_ldap
module.  It may be in a separate package, if you installed freeradius
from a package.

  If you installed freeradius from source, you will need to install the
OpenLDAP client libraries && development header files for your system.
You should then re-build and re-install FreeRADIUS.
