I don't know if there are plans to support LDAP directly on nginx, but I
developed a module that can be used to authenticate against it indirectly if
you use a GNU/Linux based system.

The module is called `ngx_http_auth_pam_module` and is available from:

  http://web.iti.upv.es/~sto/nginx/

The module implements HTTP Basic Authentication against PAM and you can use a
PAM module to authenticate against LDAP. I'm using it on production with this
configuration since I developed the module.

Currently the module works with the latest stable nginx version and if anyone
uses it and finds any bugs I would be happy to fix them, as I plan to maintain
it until a better option exists.
