Hi!
I'm working on phpgw/LDAP authentication too, and Imeet some troubles
migrating from SQL to LDAP authentication system.
If you're interested in this is all the steps I tried:
1) Installation of openldap on debian/GNU linux specifying the following 
root suffix
o=mycompany,c=it, the debian installer asked me also the password for 
the admin.
2) Modification of the main configuration file (slapd.conf) according to
   http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialLDAP-BindPW.html
3) Creation of users and groups according to
   
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/LDAP-Implementation-HOWTO.html
   using the LDIF file example in the page as a template, removing some 
items and
   using o=mycompany and c=it instead of dc=..,dc=..; l
   dapadd can be used to import data.

As in the example all users created "belong  to" the directory 
"ou=people,......" and groups
to "ou=groups, .....", I used these items respectively for accounts 
context and groups context
into setup page. The rootdn and rootpw are the same as into main 
configuration file, the password
was crypted using ldappasswd and inserted into the file. When I try to 
import LDAP users and groups
it works well, no error occurs, just some warning. But when I try to 
login the error is:

*Database error:* Invalid SQL: select * from phpgw_acl where 
(acl_account in (, 0))
*File:* /usr/share/phpgroupware/phpgwapi/inc/class.acl.inc.php

Perhaps I'm using the wrong user id. I'm not sure.
I hope this message may help you.

Keep in touch
Paolo
