First, set up the LDAP configuration

1. Get the latest version of Askbot from the github (just made a patch allowing this migration)
2. Fill out LDAP parameters in the LDAP section of settings and enable LDAP

Then migrate each user account:

1. Recover account via email, or log in via different login method (anything other than login name + password will work)
2. Go to your user profile page, click "manage login methods"
3. Enter LDAP login name and password.

Now if authentication was successful, your account is associated with the LDAP credentials.

Note: there is a common issue with setting the user login name field for the Active Directory - it is not the same as default - have a look at the help text on that setting field.
