Take a look at the General GNU Health Central Authentication [1] (need

For 3.4 specifics, please refer to the Tryton Migration to 3.4 [2] 


Finally, for the specific LDAP connection params used in the Tryton
configuration file[3]

1.- https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GNU_Health/Central_Authentication
2.- https://code.google.com/p/tryton/wiki/Migration_3_4

Hope it helps !
