The mobile apps use HTTP Basic authentication to communicate to the on-premise servers (Cloud uses oAuth).

The Alfresco Mobile app supports HTTP Basic authentication, this is often called "simple" authentication in LDAP terms. We don't support SASL.

As long as you can use HTTP Basic to authenticate with the /alfresco web application then there should be no problem using LDAP.
