Thanks for your help Thomas, I installed the LDAP Application to configure the sub wiki, which is working as expected. Another quick question, instead of pointing the search DN to a different OU for authentication, is it possible to instead limit login access to the users within a specific AD group?

Simply replace xwiki.authentication.ldap. with ldap_. For example xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN becomes ldap_base_DN." You can install http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/LDAP+Application which is doing exactly that (modifying XWikiPreferences page) in the wikis you want to modify.
