Can anyone please give me a hint which values I have to enter in the LDAP config page to access a LDAP service on a Active Directory Server?
Cheers,

Heinz,
... thanks for posting - have you had a chance to look at pages 36/37 of the draft deployment guide? Could you refine which parameters are unclear and what LDAP server you're integrating with?
fyi: quoting from the guide
Step 1 In the Home window, click the Settings button at the top right corner of the screen. The Settings window then appears.
Step 2 Click LDAP Credentials in the Settings navigation pane to view the LDAP Credentials window.
Step 3 In the LDAP Credentials window, enter your LDAP username.
Step 4 Enter your LDAP password.
Step 5 Enter the LDAP server URL address. For example, enter a URL address such as ldap://ldap.cisco.com:389.
Step 6 Enter the security principal. The security principal is the name of the user or program performing authentication. For
example, enter a value such as OU=active, OU=employees, OU=people, O=cisco.com.
Step 7 Enter the security authentication. The security authentication is the mechanism to use. For example, enter a value such
as simple or SASL.
Step 8 Enter the Group Attribute. For example, enter a value such as group membership.
Step 9 Click the Add button to save your LDAP configuration to the Cisco APIC-EM database.

Hi Bruno
Looks easy, thanks for the hint!
I found a additional note in the deployment guide:
With this Cisco APIC-EM release, the controller does not access any user identity information from Active
Directory.
Therefore I will just omit it for the moment.
Thanks anyway!

The LDAP setttings are for group information. Identity information is obtained through PxGrid (Cisco Identity Services Manager) or radius proxy.
