If it's already hardened and behind a firewall then don't bother with any additional security. All you need is the admin user to do configuration and shutdown - the rest is open.

Thank you for answering my email. Actually Ntop is already behind a firewall and the server is really hardened. My ldap's interest was more one of central directory for authentication. On the same machine (kind of monitoring server) I've nagios and cacti and I configured both to use our central ldap directory for authentication so that: - I don't have to create "local users" (in mysql or htpasswd files) for each applications - I can enforce policies on the ldap directory such as password-aging and password-quality and allow my colleagues, when they changed password in our central directory, to log in, for instance in nagios, with the new password.
