On a Debian system using the native LDAP, install
libsasl2-modules-gssapi-heimdal not libsasl2-gssapi-mit.  That should
be all you need.  You can continue using MIT for everything else.


If I'm misremembering that you are using Debian, then you just need to build libsasl against LDAP.

If you are also using PAM, you might want libpam-heimdal not
libpam-krb5.

I strongly recommend against the KDC LDAP schema.
