Nick,
  You can use conf.pl
  menu option # 6 AddressBooks (LDAP)
  Select Option #1 to Change servers
  Then + to add a server
  Then answer the questions you are prompted with
  Save your changes.

  Then take a look at your updated config.php. You should see something
like this:

$ldap_server[0] = array(
   'host' => '127.0.0.1',
   'name' => 'Public Addressbook',
   'base' => 'dc=your, dc=basedn',
);

with possibly more fields if you did not use the default values for some
options. Thats it. Remember the LDAP global addressbook is a read only
addressbook. You will not get to it by clicking on the 'addresses' link
on the menubar. That is for your personal addressbook. To access entries
in the LDAP addressbook you must use the 'addresses' button on the
compose page. You should then have a dropdown box that lets you select
which addressbook you would like to search or list.

hope that helps :)
