ldap_simple_bind_s() does that.  There's an example of this in the code 
that you looked at.  instead of hard-coding the userid/password in the 
LOGIN_ACCT & LOGIN_PASSWD variables, ask the user for them.

Are you talking about something different than I am?  Are you talking 
about logging into the LDAP server?  Or are you talking about retrieving a 
password that's stored in a field in the LDAP database?
