Scratch this one - the stupid stupid stupid upstream seems to cache the
username/cred pair after the first time it does a ldap lookup and will
reject the authentication if the password. Once I cleared the caches
this went away - when the auth rewrite works this won't be a problem.
It looks like there is a setting on the upstream that will clear the
cached entry if auth fails, why this isn't on by default is a mystery.
