I am attempting to enable LDAP auth on NagiosXI and the config menu does not seem to have fields for AuthLDAPBindDN or uthLDAPBindPassword - where would I put these settings?

There are a few different LDAP components out there. Which one are you using? Is this OpenLDAP, AD, or something else? Also, which version of XI are you using?

I do not run the services, but it is either AD or OpenLDAP. I have a service account that authenticates the LDAP users, but it is not an administrator account. The fields in the subject are what I need to use.

AuthLDAPURL
AuthLDAPBindDN
AuthLDAPBindPassword

First, add an authentication server from Home -> LDAP/AD Integration -> Add authentication server - this is where you will specify the required information. You will also need the account suffix, and Base DN.

After adding it in, click Manage Users -> Add users from LDAP/AD -> Use the username / password for the LDAP account specified.

If you want to do something more advanced than the previous suggestion, I'd take a look at the two following documents before proceeding:
http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ios_XI.pdf
http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ponent.pdf

I've attached a screenshot of the default on my system. If it looks different, you are probably using a different version of XI. If you run into problems, could you tell us which version you are running?
