> Failure in changing password for Example LDAP Server with Admin
> Bindings: Could not bind to LDAP server

That's pretty specific (ldap bind failed).  Would be useful to see what
the logs on the AD server say.

One thing that springs to mind might be realm inclusion/exclusion (e.g.,
if Horde/Passwd and AD are configured differently, where one uses
user at domain and the other uses on user).

Other questions follow:

That may be correct, I don't know, but the two cn= parts seems strange
to me...

Are you really storing the passwords clear? (See below)

>         'realm' => 'CASA.CULT.CU',

Does your active directory want the realm/domain appended, or not? Maybe
try it will this setting empty and see?

>        'encryption' => 'crypt',

Does it really use crypt encryption?  I don't know, I'm just wondering, and
wondering how this relates to the "clearPassword" attribute above...  But
then again, I know nothing about AD really, so...
