I asked my self why do I need to provide a _passwd_userdn - Hook if I does
not need to provide a similar authentification hook?

The solution are the binddn / bindpw parameters of the ldap authentification
plugin.
This means that the backend first connects as the binddn user instead of the
anonymous user  to figure out the full userdn and then connects as the
user.
This is only a little change to the _lookupDN method.

The patch attached here contains the last patch enhanced by the binddn
feature.
