LDAP auth is pretty straightforward on blackboard, you just need to configure the authentication config file to point at an ldap service, and tell the main bb-config.properties you are using ldap in the auth field.  It really isn’t hard, but sometimes fiddly, if you are sure you have a functioning LDAP service running then feel free to email me off list and we can sort the auth file.
