To recompile LDAP with Python’s MySQLdb connector, there are instructions at http://www.sheeri.org/ldap-with-auth_pam-and-python-to-authenticate-against-mysql/

There is also an explanation of why the MySQL connector provided by Oracle cannot be easily recompiled to add this functionality – because it does not rely on external libraries.

Thanks for the info, very clear.
I see these instructions were for Centos 6
Should the Percona PAM authentication work on Centos 5 also?

Great post, very informative, I have tested Active Directory Authentication using MIT Kerberos (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) with Percona PAM Plugin. I would love to post it here also.
