Having just done exactly that I can say it's probably more frustrating
than difficult. I had an interesting time finding any sort of
documentation specifically on setting up LDAP authentication. LDAP does
much more than this, and what documentation there is tends to be more
general than I was looking for. Eventually I turned up a few helpful
web pages including:
<http://staff.pisoftware.com/bmarshal/publications/ldap.html>
<http://people.redhat.com/alikins/ldap/ldap.html>
<http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/RHL-7-Manual/ref-guide/ch-ldap.html>

One possibility is addluser:
