I do not have any experience, as I run my Owncloud installation fairly
standalone, but I would recommend checking out kerberos and PAM (using
Kerberos) instead of trying to use LDAP authentication.  LDAP
authentication only work with encrypted connections, and passes the
password over the net to the LDAP server for verification, while
Kerberos do not pass the password over the net to the server.
