I've tested sipX openfire using an Active Directory server and it works
fine.
This is my scenario:
1) I configured the ldap conection ...
   Note that in Configuration panel "*LDAP configured*" checkbox must be
enabled;
   Also, in fields mapping panel I setup 'I*M ID*' sipX field with '*uid*'
LDAP field - this value will be the *IM id* togheter with the *LDAP user
password*. For example I was able to login in Pidgin with 'testuser' LDAP
user and his LDAP password.
2) Under Settings, I enabled '*Instant Messaging Authentication*';
   'Authentication Options' drop down is used only for user portal
authentification.
3) I restarted 'Instant Messaging' service.

It is ok to have just '<ldap></ldap>' in '/opt/openfire/conf/openfire.xml'
file because this file is parsed and modified by sipx-openfire.
But in '/usr/share/java/sipXecs/sipXopenfire/conf/openfire.xml' file  you
should have somethink like ...

<ldap>
  <host>ldap.server.com</host>
  <port>389</port>
  <sslEnabled>false</sslEnabled>
  <baseDN>dc=example,dc=com</baseDN>
  <adminDN>cn=Directory Manager</adminDN>
  <adminPassword>123456</adminPassword>
</ldap>
