You use PAP, and have ldap in authorize, but not in authenticate. You likely
want the latter, too.

        authenticate {
		[...]
                Auth-Type LDAP {
			ldap
                }
		[...]
	}

This will perform an authenticated bind on the LDAP server using the
supplied password, which is probably what you want.

On that note, the above would be the equivalent of this:

ldapsearch -x -b ou=People,dc=lctn,dc=org -D uid=billy,ou=People,dc=lctn,dc=org -W

...and passing in the User-Password attribute value as the password.
