[openstack-dev] Using AD for keystone authentication only

I have installed openstack-keystone-2013.2-0.11.b3.el6.noarch rpm and I
added a active directory user "test123" with role admin and tenant admin
successfully.

However when I run keystone user-list if gives me the following error:
Authorization Failed: An unexpected error prevented the server from
fulfilling your request. {'info': '000020D6: SvcErr: DSID-031007DB, problem
5012 (DIR_ERROR), data 0\n', 'desc': 'Operations error'} (HTTP 500)

I am not sure why it is looking at the Active Directory for authorization?
In keystone.conf I am only using ldap for the Identity section. The
credential and Assignment points to sql.
