Am I missing something obvious but in the original post was:
----
rlm_ldap: Added the eDirectory password 51601222 in check items as Cleartext-Password
----

We are ourselves condemned to hell to and are forced to use Novell 
but all this UP malarkey works for us just fine.

The OP obviously has already enabled universal password according to the 
debugging message, a five second look at the source code also confirms 
this:

https://github.com/alandekok/freeradius-server/blob/v2.1.x/src/modules/rlm_ldap/rlm_ldap.c#L1592

Of course I have no idea why the Cleartext-Password attribute is 
disappearing after passing through authorize/ldap before it gets to 
pap/chap/mschap but I cannot see the OP's config.  The problem seems not 
not to be a flag at compile time, it's a configuration problem.

Cheers
