Note that I'm not familiar with LDAP, may be I'm wrong.

I think the main challenge here is that LDAP is
not HTTP so you can't
count on classical Servlet way of communicating with XWiki like it's
done for everything right now (UI, WebDAV, REST, XML-RPC, etc.) so the
first thing will be to find a way to access XWiki with another
protocol than HTTP without it to be a pain to setup.

Hi Teja,
You can try with JNDI to call LDAP
You may need to modify the action servlet for authentication.( XWiki is
using struts front controller framework).Or may be you can use an
intercepting filter (don't think its possible there). Thomas will give
you
more info. I am just suggesting an approach. I am
a student like you are
here. Don't worry I am not proposing for LDAP project.
