When your customer says their windows boxes are authenticating via LDAP,
do they really mean that they are logging into a windows domain that
uses Microsoft Active Directory services?  From what little I've seen,
AD has an LDAP interface.  For example, here's something on changing a
password:

<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=269190";>http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=269190</a>

If you are in fact needing to authenticate with a windows domain, then
you probably need to be looking at how samba does this.  In particular,
you might want to study their windbind daemon.
