You _can_ use DIGEST-MD5 authentication against the OpenLDAP server.

You do not trust the official OpenLDAP documentation? :)

DIGEST-MD5 is an shared secret mechanism. The shared secret can be the 
password. This depends on clear text passwords in LDAP, otherwise you 
don't have the same secret to share.
An alternative secret store would be sasldb2 or Kerberos i.e. But I 
don't think this is what you want.

I don't really see an alternative. You have the Kolab LDAP server which 
is OpenLDAP and you want to use shared secret auth against it which 
OpenLDAP offers. Done.
