[Samba] Attempting to access LDAP backend gives "Strong(er) Authentication Required"

[David "Buzz" Carlson]

I am attempting to access the in-built LDAP backend to use for
authentication for an external web app.  When connecting to the server, an
error is returned "Strong(er) authentication is required (8) for user"

Google suggests that this is due to the fact that simple authentication is
not enabled on the LDAP server.  This web app, however, does not support
SASL.

So, is it possible to enable simple authentication to the samba's LDAP
services?
