I presume that Active Directory is polulated and running already. Then
the authentication string should be something like
cn=some name,dc=company,dc=somecontry

  Now do I have to have a populated LDIF file before I

LDIF is the Ldap Directory Interchange Format and you only have to
create an LDIF file, if your directory is not populated yet, but AD is
populated by other means anyhow. Slapd is the stand alone LDAP daemon
deriving from University of Michigan directory, AD is not deriving
from Umich.
