And what is your Plone version?  2.5?

Okay, the base is good then.

I am not sure what you mean here.  Do you mean that when you click on
Show All Users nothing is shown?  Or probably: that this button is not
even displayed?  The display of that button is governed by this
setting:

ZMI > portal_properties > site_properties > many_users

If you have many users (say, a few hundred) then it just costs too
much time to display them all.

Which KeyError is that?

Probably you need to change some settings in

ZMI > acl_users > plugins


The de facto standard documentation on Plone 2.5 plus LDAP is this
document by Wichert Akkerman:

http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/plone-2-5-and-openldap-integration-for-users-and-groups

Also, you might like this product that helps you configure Plone with
LDAP, which also has some documentation:

http://plone.org/products/ldapconfig

Especially, you may be helped by some hints about which plugins to use:

https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/ldapconfig/trunk/docs/PLUGINS.txt

Note: I wrote that product. :)
