No, and there don't exist any immediate plan on our side. On
http://sapdb.2scale.net/moin.cgi/FeatureEnhanceProposals, there 
is mention of a patch to use LDAP to authenticate the DBM user
(search for LDAP).

If you consider adding LDAP authentication to SQL users:
It is probably not difficult to add the appropriate call, 
but the following has to be considered
- the SAP DB network protocol is very insecure, so you should 
tunnel it through something more secure
- users still have to be created in SAP DB
- special care has to be taken with blocking calls like
network communication. Tasks (sessions) are organized in task 
groups of which only one can run at a time. Simply issuing a
blocking call would also block the other tasks in the same group.
