How about the following?

  class User < ActiveLdap::Base
    ldap_mapping :dn_attribute => "uid", :prefix => ""
  end

  u = User.find("reidkr")

Or

  class User < ActiveLdap::Base
    ldap_mapping :dn_attribute => "uid", :prefix => "ou=People"
  end

  ActiveLdap::Base.establish_connection(...,
                                        :base=>"ou=SPAWAR,ou=Navy,ou=DoD,o=U.S. Government,c=US")

  u = User.find("reidkr")
