Authentication require SSL with fairly strong encryption.  Is this
enabled on Moodle?  Browsing is allowed without SSL.

In debian-edu-config/share/debian-edu-config/tools/gosa-sync, I find
this fragment used to verify a password:

  ldapwhoami -x -Z -y $TMPFILE -D $USERDN

You should be able to use a similar construct to verify that LDAP bind
works.

Another idea would be a missing SSL certificate for the server.  See
/etc/init.d/fetch-ldap-cert for the details on how that is fetched and
stored on clients.

Good luck. :)
