Ludovic,

We use Kolab as our LDAP root.  We use Apache LDAP auth with email address 
like so:

                AuthName "BackupPC Access"
                AuthType Basic           
                AuthBasicProvider ldap                  
                AuthLDAPURL ldap://kolab.example.com/dc=example,dc=net?mail
                require valid-user

As opposed to 

                AuthName "BackupPC Access"
                AuthType Basic           
                AuthBasicProvider ldap                  
                AuthLDAPURL ldap://kolab.example.com/dc=example,dc=net?uid
                require valid-user

The users are defined in BackupPC by their full email address.  This works 
fine.  
If your LDAP tree cannot support auth by email, I'm afraid I cannot help.

Regards,
Tyler
