Thanks for your answer.

libpam-smbpass is and was not installed. There are no libpam-smbpass 
entries in any pam.d files.

To make sure, I installed libpam-smbpass. But no change in the ldap 
behavior.

# id user
id: result.c:112: ldap_result: Assertion `ld != ((void *)0)' failed.
uid=10039(user) gid=10147(group1)Aborted

/var/log/auth.log
Apr 30 09:09:33 hostname id: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - 
Server is unavailable

With ldapsearch or getent I can contact the server without problems.
