In the first link it's said:
"..they can use the token to log in alongside their usual password."

From my understanding the user's password and the OTP is entered as
password for LDAP simple bind request.

Same solution like my OATH-LDAP (and actually Symas is using OATH-LDAP's
schema for that).

That's only true for contrib/slapd-modules/passwd/totp.
