LDAP configuration maybe a little weird sometimes. For this reason is very important following certain rules. First of all you need to configure JBoss LDAP authentication. If after that you can log into OpenKM, go ahead configuring OpenKM LDAP integration.
OpenKM is an J2EE that uses an Application Server called JBoss. In J2EE web applications, autentication and authorization are task delegated to the Application Server. This can be achieved because OpenKM use JAAS and you need to configure JBoss to handle your users and passwords. JBoss has many predefined Login Modules which handles different the user and password storage, like RDBMS or LDAP. These Login Modules are configured at $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/conf/login-config.xml file.
Once the user is logged into OpenKM, the application also need to know which users and roles are defined. In the case of the default database based authentication, you can even manage these users, passwords and roles from OpenKM Administration. But if you use another authentication and authorization backend like LDAP, you only will see these users and their password but no modification is allowed.
