do it.
Can I just convert the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow into LDAP database? How?
Or it is no way to do this?

/etc/passwd or shadow or whatsoever only stores a hash of it. it is not
going to work anyway.
a propos, sarick: the original question is a big strange mixture of
available incompatible techniques. you store your radius-relate
or actually if you can keep the /etc/passwd /etc/shadow syncronised with
LDAP that would also do the trick. Perhaps with a script you can convert
/etc/passwd /etc/shadow into LDAP or only the changed accounts etc. or
even syncronise the add/remove user functions both in LDAP and in system
files.
