there is an auth_ldap on the tracker, but I think doesn't make sense to 
add it as the auth module can perform authentication taking the username 
and password from pseudo-variables (including AVP). So, the same 
functionality is achieved by loading username and password in AVPs using 
the ldap module, and perform authentication via auth module.

The ldap module has a lot of good stuff related to connection to server, 
failover, etc., and should be preferred to be used. I tried to start a 
tutorial about LDAP auth with OpenSER, should give you some hints to 
begin, contributions there are welcome.

Cheers,
Daniel
