that has nothing to do with ldap, is standard posix. once you have all
users and groups running you have to edit

/etc/security/access.conf

and allow only users you want.

my advice is create a group for every server/environment so you can go
as finer as you want.

then you just have to update group information.

i usually create groups with a prefix:

server-frontweb: user1, user2
server-database: user3, user4

so it's easier to manage.
