I've yet to really dig into the code in that area of Ldaptor yet, but I
believe this might be what you want:

ldapChecker = LDAPBindingChecker(ldaptor.config.LDAPConfig())
p.registerChecker(ldapChecker)

or

cfg = LDAPConfig()
checker = LDAPBindingChecker(cfg)
realm = TODOGetRidOfMeRealm(config=cfg)
porta = portal.Portal(realm)
porta.registerChecker(checkers.AllowAnonymousAccess(),
credentials.IAnonymous)
porta.registerChecker(checker)

seems to indicate that you need to pass in your credentials. There are a
few TODO items in here as well.

I hope this gets you started into a better direction! I hope there are
others that can chime in as well
