I don't think this is the problem. As I understand the report, the problem is that LDAP authentication is not working at initial login. My guess is that there is no network connection at this point. Are you using Network Manager to manage the network connection to the LDAP server? This probably will not work because Network Manager does not set up the network connection until after a user has logged in (and has the right privileges, and runs a Network Manager control applet).
