You don't. You've got the wording a bit wrong. :-) Your configuration
will allow an LDAP client to authenticate against this OpenLDAP instance
with a user defined in your directory. Supposing you have an entry
dn: cn=mta,ou=users,dc=mail
cn: mta
userPassword: <something>
objectclass: person
sn: mta
What you probably want to do is to tell your LDAP client (your MTA?) to
bind to OpenLDAP as "cn=mta,ou=users,dc=mail" with that entry's
password.
