The correct format for the #auth call would be as follows:

ldap.auth "username@ldap.server.com", "password"

Not:

ldap.auth "%sldap://ldapservername.com"%'username', 'password'

Note that you lack an @ sign and you've put the ldap protocol in the
string. Instead, what's required is the format: username@ldap.host.tld
with username being replaced with the correct username.

This is a shorthand way to write your username... alternatively you
can supply a full DN as long as you provide the correct password too.

Experiment with it. We cannot solve your problem, we can only help you
and possibly recognize where you've made mistakes or overlooked a
small details; it is up to you to solve your issue.
