-The article shared here is excellent to configure LDAP server profile (You will need to work with your AD team to get the Base/Bind DN & password).

-The LDAP server profile will be leveraged to configure group mapping which will provide the firewall user<->group mapping information so that you can write policies based on user groups.

-The firewall still needs to get user-ip mapping information. You will need to setup a userID agent to talk to your DCs to pull this information. If you are using PAN OS 5.0.x, you also have the option to configure the agentless userID on the firewall itself and have the firewall pull user-ip info directly from the DC.
