For LDAP integration just follow these steps:

Note : Here all settings are as per my LDAP schema

1.From controlpanel go to the ldap authentication tab and put the connection settings as per below image

2.Import/Export Settings as per below image

What i see missing is the fact that you can also switch the behaviour of the LDAP import by changing the following setting in the portal(-ext).properties.

# Set either user or group for import method. If set to user, portal will
# import all users and the groups associated with those users. If set to
# group, the portal import all groups and the users associated those groups.
# This value should be set based on how your LDAP server stores group
# membership information.
#
ldap.import.method=user
#ldap.import.method=group

I got the user as import method working, but the second method kept getting nullpointers.

Second: is it possible to import the hierarchy of LDAP groups as hierarchical organisational groups OOTB??
