Philip,
Thanks for the comments. Sorry I should have mentioned that I'm using
Roller 4.0
I'm hoping there is a simple setting somewhere to use ldap
authentication for xmlrpc
clients.

How can I configure xmlrpc access to use ldap authentication?
What version of Roller are you using? The newest code (not even sure
if this is in a shipping version or not) has the authentication
abstracted out using the UserManager interface, so you can implement
a custom UserManager and wire it in, in order to authenticate against
an external source at the API level.
I just went through the exercise of writing a custom UserManager like
this, as part of the initiative to integrate Roller with OpenQabal...
I was planning to write up a blog post explaining the whole thing, in all
it's gory details. I'll try to make it a point to get that up soon in
case it will be of benefit here.
TTYL,
