If you set "create_modules = ldap" in /etc/libuser.conf,
system-config-users will prompt for several LDAP authentication settings
on startup.
I have not gotten it to work, yet, though.
There is an old comment in this older bug report suggesting that this

It may be that it requires authentication to be done via LDAP; and I'm
using Kerberos for that.
