1) take a look here to set your debug level, theres a bunch of ways...
http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=blob;f=C4/Debug.pm

2) look in your apache-config for your path to your errorlog
usually /var/log/apache2/error.log

3) tail your errorlog, and look for LDAP debug info



fyi: heres my ldap config

<useldapserver>1</useldapserver>

<!-- LDAP SERVER (optional) -->
<ldapserver id="ldapserver"  listenref="ldapserver">

anonymous -->
