Because LDAP implementations are so unique and flexible, there is no single configuration that will work for everyone. You should refer to the documentation and go through it step-by-step to set it up:

http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/4.1/Admin/SetupuserauthenticationwithLDAP

The authentication.conf.example page also provides 3 examples of canned LDAP configuration for AD, Sun/iPlanet and Openldap servers: http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/4.1/Admin/authenticationconf

If you still need assistance after you've made an honest effort to get it working then feel free to file a support ticket.
