Does this help ? :

If you want to have LDAP client binds use cryptocard authentication then
you would need a SASL plugin (or possibly PAM, if the exchange is one-way as
in SecurID). Cryptocard folks don't seem to have considered this need
in their literature (which seems strange since it would give them much wider
application support without much work).
