If you are using 9.10 (not sure if it is in 9.04 ? ) there is a bug. And it doesn't ask. Here are some links to info about configuring LDAP. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1313472 That should get you going. Good Luck. If you have questions I can try and help, I am implementing LDAP for our department now... So time allowing I can try and answer questions. But I am really busy with this.. There is also my presentation on LDAP from last year's Penguins Unbound Meeting. Not as much specific info, but still some useful info. http://www.penguinsunbound.com/Past_Meetings/20090926_-_LDAP_Enterprise_Authentication ==>brian.
