I've been looking a method to authenticate Cacti on OpenLDAP, so here's how i do it : 
  • go to configuration,settings, authentication 
  • authentication method : ldap authentication 
  • guest user : no user 
  • user template : no user 
  • ldap settings, server: address ldap server or fqdn
  • port standard : 389
  • port ssl : 636
  • protocol version : 3
  • encryption : none 
  • referrals : none 
  • mode : no searching 
  • DN uid=username,ou=people,dc=sample,dc=com 
  • search base : "ou=people,dc=sample,dc=com"
  • save 
  • you may encounter error after logging in your ldap account : Error: Access Denied, please contact you Cacti Administrator.
  • you need to add the user under user management for graph appropriate permission
