Some LDAP reading should help you to understand better how configure
squid_ldap_auth.

This is a good start point: http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/73.html

After, a tool like this http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/index.html
or this http://www.ldapbrowser.com/ can help you to understand better the
organization of your LDAP server.
