I'm trying to configure ldap auth without success. 
This is my webpasswordsafe-service.xml config:

And this is the error I'm getting:

Possibly too late for the original poster, but maybe this will help someone 
else. Here is commentary of the log entries as I understand them:

2013-10-18 15:22:40,018 DEBUG [http-bio-8080-exec-10]: ldap 
filter=(&(objectclass=person)(uid=emsa\web_user))
--- The ldap will be searched for an object where objectclass=person and the 
uid=emsa\web_user
--- The fact that you are searching on the uid attribute suggests your ldap 
server is something other than microsoft active directory, since uid is not 
used by default on that directory platform

2013-10-18 15:22:44,596 INFO  [http-bio-8080-exec-10]: No results found for 
search, base: 'dc=emsa,dc=local'; filter: 
'(&(objectclass=person)(uid=emsa\web_user))'.
--- Searching the ldap directory with a base of dc=emsa,dc=local, for a user 
where uid=emsa\web_user failed. Possibly the uid syntax you are using is wrong 
for your directory; no user could be found where uid=emsa\web_user. It is also 
possible that the user you configured in webpasswordsafe-service.xml (property 
name="userDn"...) does not her permission to read the uid attribute of the user 
that has emsa\web_user set. 

2013-10-18 15:22:44,596 DEBUG [http-bio-8080-exec-10]: LdapAuthenticator: login

stage

If you are using openldap or similar, a possible next step would be to query 
the actual uid value of the account you are attempting to log in with. The page:
https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/CDS/ag/8.0/Finding_Directory_Entries-Using_ld
apsearch.html
might help to get you started with that if you are not familiar with the process

If you happen to be using microsoft active directory, there are a couple of 
changes to  consider:
1) in webpasswordsafe-service.xml, change the filter to:
<property name="filter" value="(&(objectclass=person)(sAMAccountName=$1))" />
2) configure your users in webpasswordsafe to use only the sAMAccountName - in 
this case "web_user"
