First what you will need to do is figure out how to use Directory Utility 
on the client machine to bind to your LDAP server. I am not exactly sure 
what the LDAP server needs to be able to do in order for OD binding to work 
- check the Apple Open Directory documentation online to see if there are 
hints there.

Once you can bind to your LDAP server via Directory Utility you need to 
setup the Computer record schema and user record attributes described here:
