I have installed OpenLDAP, and configured some basic users. Next, I want to configure users in my directory to be able to authenticate through my server. I was reading a little about something called PAM. Is this what I should use? If so, can someone point me to some good instructions?

I figured out how to do most of this. I followed the instructions at: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/openldap-server.html under the "LDAP Authentication" section.
This allowed me to switch user in the terminal to an LDAP user. Then, I edited: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to be:
[Seat:*]
allow-guest=false
greeter-hide-users=true
greeter-show-manual-login=true
This gave me an option to log in as another user on the Ubuntu login screen. I was able to log in as an LDAP user named "jdoe".
