When using LDAP as a authentication backend, Sympa (nor any other 
application) do NOT retreive password from LDAP server but Sympa try to 
bind to the LDAP server usnig user credential. What ever is the backend 
used by the LDAP server, the server return a code for success or 
authentication error. The password verification is performed by the LDAP 
server.

Hop this is clear.
