LDAP authentication

CentOS 6.5, dovecot 2.0.9-7
I was using http://www.linuxmail.info/postfix-dovecot-ldap-centos-5/ to
get LDAP auth working. And what's really annoying is, it worked...
until I screwed something up and had to pull my work back from a backup.
Now it doesn't work :-(
[joliver at localhost ~]$ telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE
IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready.
a1 LOGIN testuser1 password
a1 NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed.
Turn on debugging and see:
Sep 10 11:26:58 localhost dovecot: auth: Debug:
pam(testuser1,127.0.0.1): lookup service=dovecot
Sep 10 11:26:58 localhost dovecot: auth: Debug:
pam(testuser1,127.0.0.1): #1/1 style=1 msg=Password:
Sep 10 11:27:00 localhost dovecot: auth: pam(testuser1,127.0.0.1):
pam_authenticate() failed: Permission denied
Sep 10 11:27:00 localhost dovecot: auth: ldap(testuser1,127.0.0.1):
invalid credentials
Sep 10 11:27:02 localhost dovecot: auth: Debug: client out:
FAIL#0111#011user=testuser1
So, I don't know what permission is being denied by PAM, or if that was
there or not when this did work. I can access my LDAP server just fine.
What else can I check?
