External authentication via LDAP

Question

I am doing external authentication using LDAP. I have to authenticate a user via LDAP and allow the user to access many app servers. I want to know how to map all the ldap user ( users in ldap server Example:ldap://company1.local:389) with users in Database. I have created a external configuration object and assigned to a new http server with application level authentication. I dont want to store ldap user password in database. Do I have to create all users(same as in active directory) in database with some password and map them?
