LDAP has nothing to do with web server authentication when using IIS. I
assumed that was what you meant by "this". If you want to use LDAP to secure
your application, you will have to do that through your application code,
using a forms-based authentication interface.
As for "better", that'll depend on your circumstances. If you want to
authenticate users against an NT 4 domain, LDAP won't work nearly as well as
Windows authentication through IIS.
