Looking below the problem in not removing the LDAP lookups but speeding 
them up.  I would strongly recommend you speak to the LDAP administrator 
and tell them to index 'cn' and 'objectclass'.  As you are using 
eDirectory I would normally guess 

So the alternative plan of action is look at your use object classes and 
make your searches more specific, I use something like:

(&(objectClass=Person)(cn=%{%{Stripped-User-Name}:-%{User-Name}}))
 
As you are querying eDirectory there will be *lots* of objects in there 
that are not actual users.  You use 'objectClass' to only search for 
*real* people (stripping out file shares, files, workstations, printers, 
etc etc) and then you hunt for the username.

By using "ldapsearch -LLL -x -h ldap.example.com '<query>'" you will be 
able to work out what is fast and what is slow against your directory.

As you are using eDirectory I assume you work in academica, I *strongly* 
recommend you force people to enter in their realm with their username 
(for example b...@example.edu) from the start...other wise you are going 
to be kicking yourself when you look to things like 'eduroam'[1].

Cheers

[1] your users will roam to other universities to find their credentials 
        do not work as they are presenting themselves as 'bob' rather 
        than 'b...@example.edu' and so their request is rejected.  The 
        solution is to reject realmless logins even locally as your
        helpdesk will refuse to listen unless when they do does not work
