This library is still beta for ldap functions. You have to change this lines in your config file.

'ldap' => array(
	'server'	=> 'ldapserver',
	'port'		=> 'ldapport'
),

After this settings you have to follow sentry orginal document file. You can use ldap login like this;

// Set login credentials
$credentials = array(
    'userid'    => 'demo',
    'password' => 'demo',
);

// Try to authenticate the user
$user = Sentry::authenticateWithLdap($credentials, false);

Also have Sentry::authenticateWithLdapAndRemember($credentials); function.
