I believe that you will write a (small) middleware function which will
be added to the tuple PASSWORD_HASHERS in your settings.py. The
middleware will take the username and password already provided by the
user from an existing login page and then access your LDAP server for
the authentication.

You can probably find example code for that middleware function in
Django; I needed to use existing Drupal (ugh) passwords for a content
conversion to Mezzanine and found an example, probably on django-snippets.
