The best starting place would be http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/omero5/sysadmins/server-ldap.html#minimum-configuration.
The settings have to be understood as follows:
- omero.ldap.config=true - switches on the LDAP subsystem in OMERO,
- omero.ldap.urls=ldap://localhost:389 - that is the URL of the LDAP/AD server (site/urls in your case?),
- omero.ldap.username and omero.ldap.password - those are the credentials (I'd imagine "bind password, in your case) used for connecting to the LDAP/AD server,
- omero.ldap.base=ou=example,o=com - this is the base from which OMERO will start to look for users ("base" in your case).

I hope that helps. If the documentation can be improved, please let us know.

Blazej
