I don't know the PHP RPM setup, but you'd need PHP compiled/installed with
LDAP support.

Do you really need this? This is for authentication, not preferences. This
would be for doing logins off LDAP. You probably want to auth off IMP, which
is done by uncommenting these lines in horde/config/registry.php:

$this->registry['auth']['login'] = 'imp';
$this->registry['auth']['logout'] = 'imp';

To write to LDAP you usually do need to bind to the server with a
username and password. Check the archives for this list, this has been
covered several times.

This is probably what I said earlier about not having LDAP support in
your PHP. Maybe it's called php-ldap-something.rpm, I'm not really
familiar with RPM.

Hope this helps,
